About this deal

Just wanted to add also, I won’t be printing photos on my printer, so Precise photo quality printing is not a major requirement. Firstly, a textured paper is usually stiffer than photo paper and so may have feed issues and secondly this machine uses a dye based ink that can lead to ink bleed on uncoated media, which textured media usually is. html as these can handle most media and use a pigment based ink which is better for uncoated papers.

Most common will be the need to print point-of-sale material, business cards and other light card design-related media and this is where you have a couple of options. A4 laser machines can generally only take 220gsm paper, the exception to this is the higher end OKI a4 range – C612/C712 – which can take up to 250gsm.This has been the most helpful site I’ve come upon for questions regarding heavy paper printers, thank you! The pro photo machines you mention can print on a range of media including thicker papers and art papers but are designed for artwork and photography in the main. Both produce a beautiful output but we are exploring possible laser solutions for three reasons: 1) the coated paper we have to use with inkjet is expensive (relative to uncoated papers of the same wight), 2) printing is slow – about 2 minutes per page (0.

Not only is the card sourced from sustainable forests but the papermill where the card is made also commit to water management and waste reduction. The Epson ET-8550 is an ideal option taking up to 800gsm, the thickest media a Printerbase Printer can support.For that weight and type of paper, the only models really suitable would be the professional photo range of devices found here. Most new models use a high amount of wax/polymers in the toner, which do not work well with the foiling process. The paper weight limit is quite restrictive on A4 laser machines, with the majority of them only being capable of handling 220gsm. This can be confusing as different sheets may weigh the same in GSM but have different thicknesses in microns.

I’ve got a small greeting card company which is growing – currently we print up to 330gsm card on an Epson SC-P600 and Epson ET7750. If you were to print on an Oki machine using a composite black (all four colours at once) then this could work, as it gives the foil a denser area to stick to. As the name recommends, it lets you know the amount of a square meter of the paper or card you’re utilizing would weigh (as a part of grams, trust it or not).The only machine we can recommend for the toner foiling process at present is the Samsung M3320ND model. html This device can handle A3 paper up to 300gsm including those finishes you refer to in your question.

For infrequent use I’d recommend an Epson EcoTank Et-8550, it has a low running cost and high GSM support of 800. Using the recommended paper weight has a good impact on a printer and quality of the final print job. On the off chance that you have some other inquiries, I’ll be content to answer them on the off chance that you post them in the remarks box. 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. Please can you recommend a printer for me that will print waterproof labels as these would obviously be refrigerated?Do you know of any printers which are capable of printing on the back of greetings cards with apertures. OKI machines are the best at media handling thanks to their flat feed path, however, from our own tests we have found that OKI toner is not effective for foiling. If all are good for foiling, and toner on all three Samsung suitable for foiling, I would rather opt for Samsung M2835DW as it also has the wireless capability. I know for quality and capability (350 gsm) the Canon PIXMA Pro 100s/10 is highly recommended but it comes with a high running cost.
