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 25 A0 sheets (841 x 1189 mm) or 50 A1 sheets printed sideways from a 30 m roll, before allowing for trimming and test prints. Choose the matching photo or glossy paper type in the driver, so the plotter lays down the right amount of ink.

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 36 inches (914 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.
