50 x A4 350gsm Premium Thick White Printer Craft Card (1)

Product Information

In discussing various types of paper, its most likely best to say the “surface feel”, which is the way paper experts depict the composition of the paper to the touch; the surface feel can let you know a ton about the paper, e.g. size, forms, surface composition, weight, and solidness. Offset(uncoated) paper On the other hand, flyers promoting a sale or event are usually disposable, hence why they’re made from the lightest, flimsiest low-GSM paper. In addition to card printing, we now have 3 crafting printers the Epson ET-8500, Epson ET-8550 and the Canon PIXMA TS9550 printer. The Epson ET-8500 and ET-8550 printers will print up to 800gsm (1.5mm), but for media above 300gsm, you will need to print through the straight paper path. The Canon TS9550 will print up to 300gsm and is a Canon-recommended crafting printer.

Not a problem. For most of our products, you have access to our Online Designer tool, which assists you in creating your print artwork. You can use the available design tools and even upload your own images. What I’d like to be able to do is bulk buy printed leaflets (with my details and pricing info etc.) from an online printer such as vistaprint. This would cut down on the costs and my effort in generating these. However, I’d like to leave a space on these leaflets where the QR codes and login details can be printed by myself as and when they are needed for different events. I have a cannon pixma TS5320 – i’ve read every compatible paper weight but i am still confused on the weight limit the rear tray can handle.

Bespoke Cut Paper & Card

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. Choose from our range of double- or single-sided A3 paper & A3 card. Double-sided is an excellent option for crafting purposes, whereas if you’re looking for A3 printer paper, single-sided would be a great cost-effective solution. First off, wow thank you for answering everyone’s questions!!! you have no idea how helpful you are. The final thing that you need to consider before you send your print request is the colour settings. With most documents and devices, you'll be able to specify that you're printing onto heavy-duty material and the printer will automatically adapt the printing process to both the weight of the media and the finish, such as glossy or matte.

Whilst it's important to set your orientation within your document, it's equally important to ensure that you've done the same for your printer driver too. Most printers will have specific options for printing in landscape or portrait, so just follow the manual instructions provided with your device to accurately set your device to print in the correct orientation. Colour printing vs mono printing Grammage is more commonly referred to by its unofficial abbreviation: GSM. While grammage is technically the proper term for paper weight, most printers in English-speaking countries refer to GSM as the “weight” of a card. There's a wide range of different sizes that you might choose to print in, depending on what your work dictates. 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. 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.One of the most common pitfalls that users fall into when printing using a new printer is using the wrong document size, resulting in a print that's bigger or smaller than intended. 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 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. If you are setting a fold in colour, we recommend creasing from a grammage of 250gsm onwards so that the colour does not split at the fold.
