Clairefontaine copy paper A4 80 g/m² TROPHEE Cardinal Red (XCA41873)

Clairefontaine copy paper A4 80 g/m² TROPHEE Cardinal Red is high-quality colored office paper designed for everyday printing, copying and faxing. This A4 sheet provides consistent feed through laser and inkjet printers as well as photocopiers, and offers vivid color rendering for red stationery while maintaining sufficient opacity for many double-sided administrative and creative tasks.

Advantages

The Cardinal Red shade delivers uniform color across prints and copies, producing predictable results for forms, flyers and internal communication. The paper’s surface is suited to both toner and ink, giving clear text and consistent solid areas while preserving legibility on duplex jobs due to its reliable opacity.

How to use

Store the paper flat in its original packaging until use to maintain color consistency and prevent curling. Load sheets into the printer tray with the printable side according to your device’s guidance, and select appropriate media weight settings (80 g/m² or standard office paper) in the printer driver to optimize feeding and fusing. When printing double-sided, allow printed pages to cool briefly before duplexing and check printer settings for duplex compatibility to avoid smudging with inkjet output.

Usage recommendations

For best results, test a small print run when switching from white paper to Cardinal Red to confirm color contrast and legibility, especially for small fonts or fine lines. Use recommended printer settings for plain paper and avoid high-heat finishing processes that may affect color uniformity.
