Usually the weightsof a good business card. Some will use 300gsm, or less, for a business card but we do not recommend it. 350gsm can also be used as a cover for your book but it’s important to remember the stitching and folding implications of using heavy board as a cover. Yes, we have a number of printers which will print on to 350gsm paper in 12cm x 12cm size. However it depends if you want the printer to be Inkjet or Laser, we have a suitable inkjet printer which is a Canon Pixma 100s – https://www.printerbase.co.uk/canon-pixma-pro-100s-a3-colour-inkjet-printer.html. Take a look over it, or if you’re after the best quality, the PIXMA Pro 10s is a top rated image printer

The ream of good quality printer paper weighs anything from 20 pounds to 32 pounds. From its name, the HP Printer Paper, Office20 weighs 20 pounds a ream. This is a premium regular printer paper ideal for high-volume printing and copying, without compromising on the quality of your printouts. It's just a regular copy paper but a little bit heavier than other brands, which makes it ideal for inkjet printers.

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 The max rated paper weight for Epson non-pro models is 256gsm photo papers. Anything over 256gsm is usually reserved for their range of professional photo printers only, such as the P400, P600 and P800 models. No matter which printer I use there is always a problem with the printer feeding the fabric/ freezer paper in 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. For that weight and type of paper, the only models really suitable would be the professional photo range of devices found here. These have the best media handling capabilities and can take media up to 350gsm. As they are suitable for art prints, they are able to print onto canvas and other similar media like cotton rag.

The maximum paper weight rating on this model of machine is 220gsm from the multipurpose feeder. We have not specifically tested or had reports of anyone using this model for foiling, however, we would expect the toner technology being used in these newer models to be similar across the HP range of machines. We did send some HP tests to people using foiling and the results were not satisfactory. With this in mind, the only machine we can currently recommend is the Samsung M3820, which can also print the same paper weight – https://www.printerbase.co.uk/samsung-m3820nd-a4-mono-laser-printer.html

A good printer paper will complement the ideal printer settings. Always remember to adjust your printer's settings the match the type of paper you are using. Photo specific printing papers come in various sizes, make sure you confirm the range of paper size your printer accepts before buying the paper.
