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

Product Information

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. 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?

A5 Natural Green Card 50 Sheets Light Green Card 160gsm Coloured A5 Printer Photocopier Coloured Card SheetsA 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. Thanks Adam. You are helping me think about what I really need. So here goes………..I need a cheap printer, that has low ink costs, can print leaflets on glossy/silk paper and can print on thin card too. Thanks for any help!

Here’s a link to take a look over https://www.printerbase.co.uk/canon-imageprograf-pro-1000-a2-photographic-printer.html Keep collections to yourself or inspire other shoppers! Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places.However, there are Mono options which can reach up to 230gsm: https://www.printerbase.co.uk/brother-hl-l2310d-printer.html 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. The Canon G650 can print photo’s great but it has max support of 105gsm. We would not recommend this for Card Printing.

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.Im after an inkjet printer to print cards, all i have used struggle feeding in, i was hoping for a HP one but if not can you advice on the cheapest inkjet that will very happily take 250g card. Printing on card and materials other than standard paper doesn’t have to be as daunting as it may sound. If you’re looking to print on the card for example, then we have a range of printers that can suit your needs.

However, Canon Inkjets in some cases can print up to 300gsm with a great running cost still, take a look at the Canon PIXMA IP8750 https://www.printerbase.co.uk/canon-pixma-ip8750-a3-colour-inkjet-printer.html.

The 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. 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. Thank you for getting in touch, with regards to Card Printing. I recommend the Canon PIXMA Pro 10s as it has a 10 ink Pigment-based system for top colour accuracy and support of a wide range of media types.
