100 Sheets A4 250gsm White Card - Premium Thick Printing Paper Suitable for All Printers

Product Information

Paper weights go as low as 40gsm for tracing paper and the optimum for most laser printers is 80gsm general-purpose printing paper. General users don’t worry about GSM limitations as they mostly print standard documents using the 80gsm reams of paper, which is recommended. According to the type of brochure and the kind of binding used, you can choose from the paper grammages set out here. There is also the Canon PIXMA IP8750 that can print up to 300gsm, including most of the same features as the IX6850 but with a 6 ink system which adds Grey ink, and the inclusion of a CD/DVD printing tray.

Grammage is more commonly referred to by its unofficial abbreviation: GSM. While grammage is technically the proper term for paper weight, most printers in English-speaking countries refer to GSM as the “weight” of a card. Using the recommended paper weight has a good impact on a printer and quality of the final print job. The effects of not doing so range from bad quality prints to printer damage. High on the list of issues is “paper jam”, which then evolves into multiple other issues with varying error codes and messages on your printer. Below are some examples of the maximum GSM recommended for the most common printing scenarios. Business cards are commonly 350gsm or 400gsm, postcards can vary from 250gsm to 350gsm and drop cards are often 300gsm. There are no printers we would recommend for printing on tracing paper due to how thin it is, it could cause issues with the printer. The same would apply to Napkins due to being fragile.

On the other hand, flyers promoting a sale or event are usually disposable, hence why they’re made from the lightest, flimsiest low-GSM paper. After all the portrayals and clarifications here, you may need to get a vibe for the scope of papers accessible yourself, in which case you are welcome to request print paper sample. On the off chance that you have some other inquiries, I’ll be content to answer them on the off chance that you post them in the remarks box. Paper Type Paper Finishing This is the midway point between paper and card. It can be used for brochure covers and is great when used for more luxurious posters or quality double sided flyers.

Technical—a certain special technique such as a foil stamp or a die-cut won’t work with all papers, and some books may need heavier paper to suit the binding

If you are setting a fold in colour, we recommend creasing from a grammage of 250gsm onwards so that the colour does not split at the fold. Movingaway from paper, this is regarded as card (board) weights which can add a quality finish to a book if used as a cover. A low quality sheet used in photo copiers is often 80gsm, where as a letterhead would commonly be printed on either 100gsm or 120gsm. Papers weighing either 130gsm or 150gsm are generally used for leaflets or flyers.

Offset(uncoated) paper

Covered or craftsmanship paper is made of concoction mash which regularly has a high non-wood rate. The matt or reflexive completion connected and the water-based covering (scattering covering) connected gives a smooth, shut surface which makes this paper harder to compose, print, or stamp onto. The scattering covering seals the color and gives the paper expanded steadiness, which prompts brilliant printed pictures with sharp complexities. Covered paper is the ideal outline printing sheet, simply a good fit for flyers, leaflets, and comparable visual items. Poster paper The Lakes Craft collection is a smooth, double-sided, uncoated card available in a range of pastel and intense colours. As it is dyed right through, you are guaranteed the same glorious colour throughout!Otherwise called copier or printer paper, balance paper is often utilized for letters and note pads in light of the fact that it can be composed and printed on again and again; this makes it suitable for copiers, ink-plane, and laser printers. The weight range of standard office paper, used in your desktop laser printer or photocopier and would rarely be used for brochures. In addition to card printing, we now have 3 crafting printers the Epson ET-8500, Epson ET-8550 and the Canon PIXMA TS9550 printer. The Epson ET-8500 and ET-8550 printers will print up to 800gsm (1.5mm), but for media above 300gsm, you will need to print through the straight paper path. The Canon TS9550 will print up to 300gsm and is a Canon-recommended crafting printer. I am looking for a printer (laser ideally for speed) that can print additional information onto existing leaflets/flyers. I’m a photographer and use a QR code system for managing volume photography events. So for school photography every child gets a QR code that is photographed at the start of their sessions and when the images are uploaded the software automatically puts the images in the corresponding galleries.
