Carnival carries the following laser and inkjet guarantee:
Laser

All 24lb Carnival writing; 70lb and 80lb text items available in smooth, vellum, linen, laid, felt and groove will perform to your expectations in photocopiers and laser printers.

Some laser equipment will run cover weights—manual-feed is required in most cases (generally over an 8pt caliper).  Refer to your original equipment manufacturer’s guidelines for best results.

Other Carnival papers may also work in your particular equipment.  However, such use, or use outside your particular equipment manufacturer’s recommendations, renders this guarantee null and void.  We always recommend testing prior to use due to rapidly changing technology.

Inkjet
All Carnival writings and text items available in smooth, vellum, linen, laid, felt, groove and vertical will perform to your expectations in desktop inkjet printers.

Some inkjet equipment will run cover weights.  Refer to your original equipment manufacturer’s guidelines for best results.

Other Carnival papers may also work in your particular equipment.  However, such use, or use outside your particular equipment manufacturer’s recommendations, renders this guarantee null and void.  We always recommend testing prior to use due to rapidly changing technology.

Of course, all Carnival papers are guaranteed to perform on small and large offset presses.
