100 Sheets A4 160gsm White Card - Premium Thick Printing Paper Suitable for All Printers

Product Information

Maximum media handling weight for general A4 laser machines is 220-250gsm, you can potentially print onto textured papers (weight permitting) but the nature of the laser process may give you not the best results on a non-smooth paper. An inkjet would be a better option for textured papers, the Canon ix6850 – https://www.printerbase.co.uk/canon-pixma-ix6850-a3-colour-inkjet-printer.html– can handle up to 300gsm photo papers and is about the cheapest device of its type for heavyweight media handling. If quality of output is paramount then the Canon Pro 10s – https://www.printerbase.co.uk/canon-pixma-pro-10s-a3-colour-inkjet-printer.html– or Epson P400/P600 would be the better options – https://www.printerbase.co.uk/surecolor-sc-p400-a3-colour-photo-inkjet-printer.html However, with a Laser, the highest would be the Xerox VersaLink C9000 which can print up to 350gsm. The highest laser we support. Unless mistaken, silk coatings are usually found on digital papers (laser) and so would not be suitable for inkjet devices as the ink cannot adhere to the coating. Also, a silk coated paper at 300gsm tends to be much stiffer than a photo paper and so you would likely experience feed issues even were you able to find a silk coated inkjet media at this weight.

Hi I am looking for a reasonably priced printer that i can use with printing onto up to 300 to 350 gsm being that l am a card maker If designing a book be sure to consider the weight of paper on the inside and also your cover requirements. If you want to provide a quality professional finish then opting for heavier paper is your best choice. If you are looking to get across the idea of discounts and value for money then you may decide to run with a lighter paper weight throughout the brochure. There aren’t any mono laser A4 machines that can take more than 250gsm, and the few that do, won’t work with foil unfortunately. Changes to toner on newer printers means that they contain more wax-like substances that don’t lend themselves to the foiling process. The Samsung M3820ND works OK with foil, but will only print on 220gsm. Other than the Samsung machine, there aren’t really any others we could recommend. 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.The majority of inkjet printers have a limit of 220gsm or in some cases ~250gsm for photo papers as opposed to card. The Canon iX6850 is rated for 300gsm photo papers, and has a rear feed so would be able to feed heavier papers/card and is the only machine other than the professional photo models here that I would recommend for 250gsm papers. The link you provided looks relatively neat and compact in comparison to other multifunction machines. The only machine we can recommend for the toner foiling process at present is the Samsung M3320ND model. Mono machines generally are limited to 160gsm media handling (via the multipurpose feeder), so it will meet that requirement. This machine also uses a toner that lends itself well to the foiling process, which cannot be said of any of the others available. Most new models use a high amount of wax/polymers in the toner, which do not work well with the foiling process. The 300gsm on this machine is actually rated for photo papers as opposed to card but some customers do use it for card as well. It depends on your budget as well because other alternatives would be our pro photo machines – https://www.printerbase.co.uk/other-devices/photo-printer/high-quality-photo-printers.html

If you are planning to use a textured paper then you may be better of with an inkjet machine such as the Canon IX6850, which can handle up to 300gsm photo media – https://www.printerbase.co.uk/canon-pixma-ix6850-a3-colour-inkjet-printer.html Almost all printers can accept envelopes, but these are on a smaller scale, usually 1-10 envelopes at a time.

IT’s a bit pricey for a start up business. At the moment I am printing on on 300gsm cards.Assuming these ID cards are made of plastic like these – https://bit.ly/2EGTTcs, this means they are most likely printed using a sublimation process on a specialist device. Unfortunately, we do not have any machines capable of printing onto this type of material. We will also show you how you can choose the correct GSM paper so your project is cost-effective as well as how to avoid some common pitfalls. What does GSM mean? The Samsung ones (M3320 and above) are the only viable options we can recommend but the limit is 220 gsm. We can send a sample from an M3820 model to test if you would like to try it out.

When it comes to card printing, A3 printers are the way forward. Thanks to their high GSM support, and typically aimed towards printing images and graphics.Movingaway from paper, this is regarded as card (board) weights which can add a quality finish to a book if used as a cover. During the manufacturing process of paper, the pulp from wood or recycled paper goes through many passes between cylindrical rollers to join together their fibers to form paper and squeeze out its water content. As Dunder Miflin’s Regional Manager Michael Scott might say, it’s “limitless paper in a paperless world.” Hello! Im looking for a laser printer that can handle 280/300gsm paper and that has a really good photo/graphics quality printing, as I would be printing kids birthday invitations mostly.

I had an IT technician have a look at it, for free, yesterday and it’s def’ a goner, as if it had only been the paper jam bar that needed replacing, he could have found me a new one, But the mechanism on the right hand side has gone too. It is worth considering the paper sizes here, smaller items can feel very stiff on heavy paper, so speak to your printer about how you want the end product to look and feel. The weight range of standard office paper, used in your desktop laser printer or photocopier and would rarely be used for brochures. I’m currently using an OKI 531Dn printer and whilst it will print on 350gsm card (which I probably shouldn’t do) it’s streaking a fair bit. So I’m guessing it’s running through too fast or not getting enough heat? The ream of good quality printer paper weighs anything from 20 pounds to 32 pounds.
