Movingaway from paper, this is regarded as card (board) weights which can add a quality finish to a book if used as a cover. If a printer cannot produce high-quality images that accurately reflect the designs that you are looking to print, the device is not fit for purpose. The main issue that you may encounter if you forget to alter the orientation of your document is that part of the image is cut off above or to the sides, or a print that's printed in the wrong direction and therefore appears stretched to fit the size of the paper. 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. The Pigment-based ink option is the Canon imagePROGRAF Pro-300, which can print up to 380gsm too, again there’s another link for you to see below,

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. 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. In particular, keep an eye out for the printer's supported weight range - if your printing material's weight falls within this weight category, you should be okay to start printing! On the Sharp printer’s touchscreen, find the ‘Tray Settings’ icon and here you will get a diagram of your machine, showing the number of trays and what each one is currently selected as using for the paper weight/type setting.

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.

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.I have done SO much research on wedding stationary and paper but i think im at the point where my brain will not understand/ convert wedding stationary unit (lb or 10pt) versus gsm vs gm/2.

Leaflets will likely be A5. Does this sound possible? Not sure what the best paper type to choose from an online print shop for the flyers would be? Weight would likely be 220 gsm, though possibly 170 gsm may be enough. The printer would need to be able to handle A5 and doesn’t necessarily need to be colour. You can edit the size of your document to fit the paper that you’re using in the pre-print dialogue box - just follow the instructions and you'll be able to scale your document to the size that you desire. Get the orientation right I’ve got two options, the Canon PIXMA IX6850, this can print up to 300gsm but uses dye-based inks. I’ve attached a link for you to look at below.If you're making greetings cards, you'll want to be able to print in a couple of different sizes such as A5, A4, and A3 - these are some of the most common card sizes that you'll see in stores, but you'll be free to print in any size that's within the maximum print size of the printer, so feel free to get creative! There are a couple of factors that will impact the print quality that you see in your final product - these are: Whilst some documents, such as art prints and photography, are best suited to being printed out in eye-catching full colour, others are best suited to the clear and reserved appearance of a monochrome print. We reserve the right to verify or ask for written proof of a competitors offer before we beat the price. Printerland cannot match the price where a manufacturer or distributor sells directly to the public

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. Where special offers provided by Printerland and/or the manufacturer applies, the competitor must also be providing the same offer/s for the Those wishing to print on 250gsm or 256gsm may well have more choice when choosing a new card printer. The slight thinner media is able to pass through the printer paper path more easily, so the robustness called for in a 300gsm printer is not quite as important. The other key feature to look out for is paper capacity. If you're only planning to print a small number of cards, you may be able to use a smaller printer, but for larger jobs, you'll likely need a printer with a larger paper tray to allow for smoother production.

The final thing that you need to consider before you send your print request is the colour settings.
