I am looking for advice on a colour laser printer that will be able to handle a full range of media from 40gsm to 250gsm and that it has a bypass tray? We have been printing on a 300 gsm matte finish paper. (Our concern is not with weight per se but with delivering a product that feels high quality in the hand). As a unit of measure, GSM connects the wood pulp producers (who sell by weight) with the paper mills (who work on area). Generally, the higher the GSM the more wood pulp is required to produce the paper. For example, one square metre of 400gsm board will use much more wood pulp than a square metre of 100gsm paper. I was looking for a 250 GSM laser printer but did not found anything good. Now thanks to this new information I am rethinking everything.

These printers take up to 105gsm plain paper. Or supported Canon papers of various weights. They have not been tested using alternative brand photo paper. We do have the Brother HL-L2370DN, which can handle media up to 230gsm through a manual feed slot. This is also a small, desktop printer. From the sounds of it, the Xerox C8000 would still be a good option for your printing. It can handle up to 300gsm media and print at great quality. These can take uncoated papers too however, when it comes to specialised media you would need to use papers designed for a laser printer. I’ve had a look over your requirements and found the Xerox Phaser 6510DNI to suit your needs. It offers great print quality and handles paper up to 220GSM at A4. Please see the link below. We accept all of the major credit and debit cards. Your transactions and personal data will be held in a PCIDSS accredited system using secure encryption technologies.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. Even though a higher GSM fabric offers higher durability, but when it comes to T-shirts these heavy fabrics are not wearable and preferable during summer weather. T-shirts chosen by us have a GSM strength of 180….GSM: Fabric Quality Metric. Clothing Wear

Thank you for your comment, we’ve not seen or tested the HP InkTank 315 on the UK Market yet. However, the Canon PIXMA G3560 can support up to 275gsm: https://www.printerbase.co.uk/canon-pixma-g3560-a4-colour-inkjet-printer.htmlIf that doesn’t work, please get in touch via LiveChat or our sales team and we can see on assisting you further. This system weighs 500 sheets of one paper type (called a “ream”) in its uncut, basic sheet size. The resulting weight is used to categorize the paper no matter the final cut dimensions. Thank you for your comment. We don’t have a Mono laser printer which can reach higher than 230gsm. This can be found on the Brother HL-L2350DW printer: https://www.printerbase.co.uk/brother-hl-l2350dw-printer.html As a rough guide, newspaper is usually 35-55gsm, standard copier paper is 80-90gsm and business cards are around 300gsm.

This material will be cut and despatched as soon as possible. However, please allow up to 4 working days for despatch as the workload of our guillotine operators varies from time to time (working days do not include weekends or bank holidays) The term ‘GSM’ simply stands for ‘Grams per Square Metre’ and is used for measuring paper weight. Put simply, if you were to take a 1m² piece of a certain type of paper, how much would it weigh in grams? I’ve had a look at your requirements and the best option I can find is the Oki C824dn, it can print up to A3 but Duplex up to 220gsm through the Multipurpose Tray which can hold up to 80 sheets. I’ve attached a link below for you At Viking, we are dedicated to ensuring that your shopping experience is always efficient and budget-friendly. That's why we're delighted to extend a free delivery option to our valued customers. The Brother T420 isn’t available in the UK at the moment so information is limited. From what we’re seeing, the minimum GSM support is 80, this could be what causes the feed issues.There are lots of various standards for GSM paper. The weight determines what the paper is used for, and is often called the paper’s “grammage.” On the other hand, flyers announcing a sale or an event have a temporary use. They communicate information to whoever receives them, and then they’re usually thrown away. As such, these are often printed on flimsier paper with a lighter GSM. Thank you for your comment. Unfortunately, Printerbase does not offer a printer suitable for your needs. But we do work with Sunangel Imaging, who can provide a White Toner printer. First off, wow thank you for answering everyone’s questions!!! you have no idea how helpful you are.

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.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. I have a HP Envy 4500 which in the past printed on glossy photo and CD label papers of around 120 to 130g/m2. Notebook paper is generally between 80-90gsm (grams per square metre) making it adequate for taking notes or for creating booklets etc. Higher quality writing paper is generally 90gsm and above. I’m glad to hear you’re finding use in our posts and I’m sorry to hear your save-the-dates were cancelled. Looking at your requirements the Canon PIXMA IX6850 would fit your needs. It prints up to A3 but supports up to 300gsm media. It is also under your budget.
