Is the black truly solid all the way through?

Yes — solid-core means the dye penetrates the entire sheet. Cut a 1/8" detail and the edge stays black, not white.

Will black smooth cardstock work for vinyl-style silhouette cuts?

Yes — 67 lb cuts intricate silhouettes cleanly on a Cricut Maker with a fine-point blade.

What Cricut setting should I use?

"Cardstock" or "Medium Cardstock," fine-point blade, StandardGrip mat. Test cut first.
