Bond, ledger, and copy paper – Basic sheet size: 17 x 22 in – Bond paper is probably what you think of when you imagine paper. This is the most common type found in homes and offices. 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.

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. Here is a simple guide to common paper types and their corresponding GSM. Next time you’re looking for paper products, you can use this guide to figure out exactly what will work for different craft projects.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 What other printer would you recommend other than the Canon Pro 300? IT’s a bit pricey for a start up business. At the moment I am printing on on 300gsm cards. You can find a number of printers that handle 350gsm here. The Canon 100S and Canon 10S are good options from Canon that handle 350gsm.

If all are good for foiling, and toner on all three Samsung suitable for foiling, I would rather opt for Samsung M2835DW as it also has the wireless capability.Thanks for getting in touch. A lot of our pro photo printers would help with this except for the Canon PIXMA 100S – https://www.printerbase.co.uk/other-devices/photo-printer/high-quality-photo-printers.html I have worked my way through the majority of your answers and I am looking for confirmation that there is not another printer out there more suitable for my needs. Standard copier and printer paper tends to be anywhere from 70 to 100 GSM. Meanwhile, stationery such as letterheads and compliment slips usually come in 100gsm to 120gsm, signifying their importance. These paper products, also known as offset paper, are uncoated and designed for rapid and repeated printing.

We would recommend 2 printers. The Canon PIXMA iX6850 or Canon PIXMA TS9550 printers depending on your budget. Text, book, offset, and coated paper – 25 x 38 in – Text paper is slightly different from bond paper, as it’s usually colored and is more textured. Book paper is the type used in printed books, as it holds up well to printing on both sides. This paper is also more textured than bond paper. If you are looking for a laser printer, then the OKI series of machines starting with the C332DN – https://www.printerbase.co.uk/oki-c332dn-a4-colour-led-laser-printer.html? – would be suitable as it can handle up to 220gsm from the multipurpose tray and has a straight feed path. If the paper you are using is not heavily textured then this is a good option.

As far as we’re concerned they are the exact same. The specs are the same and they perform the same function. It appears that they are the same model but with a slightly different model name depending on the area. E.g. UK, Europe etc.

Common GSM Paper Sizes and Measurements

Unfortunately, there is no Printer capable of 450gsm. The highest we have is 400gsm by using the Canon Pixma imagePROGRAF Pro 1000. The best printer for this paper weight and texture is the Canon iX6850. I have provided a link to the Canon iX6850 printer below. ColorLok® Technology is a true innovation which helps improve print results when using modern printing equipment.

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. For up to 220GSM the Xerox C400DN would be suitable too: https://www.printerbase.co.uk/xerox-versalink-c400dn-a4-colour-laser-printer.htmlThe closest machine to the IP3000 is actually the iX6850. It’s not usually recommended to try and feed anything with an aperture in it through a device as it can result in jams, but we would suspect that feeding from the bypass feeder should be OK but we couldn’t recommend. Just wanted to add also, I won’t be printing photos on my printer, so Precise photo quality printing is not a major requirement. Please can you tell me which affordable home Inkjet printer would be suitable for printing on card 250gsm. Preferably with a feeding tray at the rear. I am currently using a basic HP and Canon but the printers don’t like the card and often jam. You asked and we listened, our Great Printers For Printing On Card Post has been updated with the latest and greatest models. Thank you for getting in touch. We don’t have a printer we could recommend for the size of prints you’re doing. It’s advised to use an A4 sheet of paper and cutting it down to reach this size.
