Presentation renders, photos and posters that need a shiny, photo-like finish. At 215 gsm it is heavier than coated paper and gives deep colour. For everyday colour drawings, 120 gsm matt coated paper is cheaper and easier to write on.

About 35 A1 sheets (594 x 841 mm) from a 30 m roll, before allowing for trimming and test prints. Run a small test print first when you change paper type, so the plotter's paper setting matches the finish and colours come out as expected.

Yes. The roll has a standard 2-inch core, which loads on the spindle of HP DesignJet, Canon imagePROGRAF TM and Epson SureColor T plotters 24 inches (610 mm) wide or more.

Keep rolls in their wrapping and box until you use them, in a cool, dry room away from sunlight and air-conditioner drips. Humidity makes paper curl, which causes jams and smudged lines, so wrap part-used rolls again after use and use older stock first.
