Astrobrights Color Cardstock, 65 lb Cover Weight, 8.5 x 11, Eclipse Black, 100/Pack

I’ve used Astrobrights cardstock for years — first as a classroom teacher and now as someone who presents and trains educators — and this Eclipse Black, 65 lb cover weight is hands-down one of my most-used packs. Let’s start with the feel & quality: This cardstock is thick without being stubborn. It’s sturdy enough for signs, games, covers, and display pieces, but not so thick that it jams printers or copiers. I’ve run it through school copiers, home printers, and office machines with zero drama (and if you’ve ever fought a copier, you know that matters). 🖨️ Printer & Copier Friendly (YES, really) Inkjet ✔️ Laser ✔️ Copiers ✔️ No curling, no smudging, no getting stuck halfway through a big print job. 🖤 Why Eclipse Black Is a Must-Have This black is deep, rich, and bold, not gray-ish or flimsy. It makes: White or neon text POP Classroom games look polished Workshop materials look professional Posters, covers, and dividers look intentional I laminate a lot of my materials, and this paper holds up beautifully — no warping, no weird bubbling, and it’s durable enough to reuse year after year. 👩‍🏫 Teacher & Presenter Approved Back when I was teaching, we used Astrobrights constantly: Game boards Task cards Art projects Interactive notebooks Let’s be honest — kids are over construction paper. Once they use Astrobrights, there’s no going back. The colors are vibrant, the paper feels “fancy,” and suddenly their work looks display-worthy. Now, in my presenting career, I still use it for: Workshop materials Table activities Visual examples Reusable laminated resources It instantly elevates anything you print. 📦 Final Thoughts If you need cardstock that: Looks professional Handles heavy use Runs smoothly through printers Works for classrooms, offices, and creative projects …Astrobrights is worth every penny. I always keep multiple colors on hand, but Eclipse Black is a staple I reorder again and again. Brighter colors. Better materials. Less copier rage. Highly recommend.

Very black paper I didn't use it my brother and his wife will though. I wouldn't print on this since idk if it would show up. Seems very thick and good quality but not for my application

This worked out great for my child’s 2nd grade art project! Was going to buy larger, higher quality paper for twice the price and only 15 sheets. So glad I didn’t. I just taped 2 together and trimmed it like I’ve done all year to get it the same size they are using in the school (we went virtual). This project was used with soft pastel chalk. It is black all the way through. We had a paint drop that was unshapely, and used a toothpick to kind of carve it out. Then covered it up with the small stars (toothbrush +acrylic paint). So the paper being a nicer thick card stock helped make that possible without making a hole. So if you’re looking for a nice TRUE BLACK, sturdy paper, I’d definitely recommend this.

Good paper. Always go with this brand

Love this cardstock

So bright and beautiful. This 65 lb cardstock is durable and thick enough for structural paper crafts, die-cutting machines, and scrapbooking without feeling flimsy. The "Eclipse Black" color is rich, solid, and deep throughout the core of the paper, rather than just printed on the surface. No problems printing, and size is as expected.

I purchased this to use as a cover for an event program. I didn't realize how difficult it would be to get it printed. There wasn't a print shop in my area that could print white or foil ink. Bummer for me, but because the paper isn't a glossy finish, I was able to print with regular black ink to create a tone-on-tone embossed look. It wasn't even close to what I had planned but the programs turned out nice. The paper is of good quality and was tough enough to use as the outer cover.

It is very black, sturdy i use Black paper for Acrylic paint pen art.

I use this for card making. It cuts well on my Cricut Joy, my paper trimmer and in my Sizzix Die Cutting machines with just one pass. I would say the weight of the paper is about 65 lbs. The core is true black with no white. I also applied Triple Thick Brush Gloss to the paper and it did not curl or wrinkle. Amazon's price is much cheaper than buying retail. Extremely happy with this product. Will most definitely purchase again.

It’s nice paper but I thought it was white which is my bad I can use it for something else so that’s fine

Satisfecha con las hojas de esta cartulina, si bien no es tan gruesa (176gr) puede usarse para crafts. Se sabe que para acuarelas lo mas factible es de 300gr y que sea algodón. Pero al usar acuarelas donde la mezcla es más pigmento (pigmentos pesados como lo son las metálicas) y menos humedad; esta cartulina es perfecta, como se observa en las imágenes, la cartulina no se hizo fea, lo cual era mi principal temor, obvio si te pasas de agua, sucederá que el pigmento no será parcial (hablando de acuarela metálica) y arruinarás el papel, no soy experta en lettering pero puede servir para eso, yo ocupo para hacer flores en acuarela, o tarjetas y la verdad volvería a comprar esta cartulina, no se me hizo elevado de precio como otras que estaban en venta. 100% recomendado!

en realmente negro muy hermoso, y el grosor es muy bueno

I've been loving these for when I make my 63 x 88 mm cards The card stock is a great thickness when used with a holographic vinyl sticker paper and 50 micron laminate sheets
