My only request is that i do not want to feed the printer one paper at the time. As I think I have to do for the hp 283 in the tray 1. Hi I am looking for a reasonably priced printer that i can use with printing onto up to 300 to 350 gsm being that l am a card maker

For media at this weight we do recommend looking at an Inkjet Printer. My top current recommendation is the canon IP8750 What other printer would you recommend other than the Canon Pro 300? IT’s a bit pricey for a start up business. At the moment I am printing on on 300gsm cards. I also want to print art prints A5 & A4 size, which Epson eco tank would you say would be the best option for both these points?I have bought a Kyocera Ecosys M5521 and discovered that has a simplex ADF (a crap that takes one side) and prints ok on 220gsm card only the text but the images doesn’t. https://www.printerbase.co.uk/canon-imageprograf-pro-300-photo-inkjet-printer.html this is capable of prints up to 370gsm i need your help to have the best printer for printing Certificate , as per customer request following the Specs: It has duplex print, scan and copy functions and has a maximum media handling capability of 250gsm. However, there are some caveats: Dear Sir, We need your valuable suggestion and help in regards to our requirement; we’ve professional computer with iMac 27″, 4.6 GHZ 6-Core, 9th Gen.

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. You could also look at the Epson XP-Series and Canon Pro series. Or specifically, the PIXMA iX6850 is a great and affordable model that can help you achieve what you need when it comes to printing on a card. Laser printers typically have a maximum GSM support of 220gsm, it’s even lower on a Mono printer. It would be most suited to using an Inkjet to print at higher GSM. The Samsung ones (M3320 and above) are the only viable options we can recommend but the limit is 220 gsm. We can send a sample from an M3820 model to test if you would like to try it out.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 There aren’t any mono laser A4 machines that can take more than 250gsm, and the few that do, won’t work with foil unfortunately. Changes to toner on newer printers means that they contain more wax-like substances that don’t lend themselves to the foiling process. The Samsung M3820ND works OK with foil, but will only print on 220gsm. Other than the Samsung machine, there aren’t really any others we could recommend. I’m looking for a printer that will print on card, and is cost effective so has tanks that can be refilled – any thoughts please?

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). I have tried laser printers previously such as HP M148FDW, however when using any type of paper above 180gsm, the toner seems to leave spots on the paper, like the toner has been pressed up against the paper and left ink on it?

I am looking for an advice from you. I need a visiting card printer for business purpose, the main duty of the printer will be to print national flags of different countries & some flowers on visiting cards.

Hi. Can you please recommend a printer for Printing book covers. It should be colour. Able to print A3 and cost efficient. Please can you tell me which affordable home Inkjet printer would be suitable for printing on card 250gsm. Preferably with a feeding tray at the rear. I am currently using a basic HP and Canon but the printers don’t like the card and often jam. The majority of printers can only handle a maximum of 250gsm. There are some exceptions such as the Pro photo machines, but you can also print onto media up to 300gsm with the Canon iX6850 – https://www.printerbase.co.uk/canon-pixma-ix6850-a3-colour-inkjet-printer.html This is a much cheaper option than the pro photo devices. If you’re looking to print only up to 300gsm then the best option would be the Canon iX6850 model – https://www.printerbase.co.uk/canon-pixma-ix6850-a3-colour-inkjet-printer.html– anything lower than this would be rated at 255gsm or less and so would not be suitable for card printing. If you need to print up to 350gsm, then the Canon or Epson Pro photo machines are the best option (excluding the Canon PIXMA 100s) – https://www.printerbase.co.uk/other-devices/photo-printer/high-quality-photo-printers.html The M2026 model was a retail only device I believe, available only at certain retailers and so is not a model we have. However, it is of the same generation of devices as those we recommended and so likely uses the same toner type meaning it should work with the foiling process.

Maximum media handling weight for general A4 laser machines is 220-250gsm, you can potentially print onto textured papers (weight permitting) but the nature of the laser process may give you not the best results on a non-smooth paper. An inkjet would be a better option for textured papers, the Canon ix6850 – https://www.printerbase.co.uk/canon-pixma-ix6850-a3-colour-inkjet-printer.html– can handle up to 300gsm photo papers and is about the cheapest device of its type for heavyweight media handling. If quality of output is paramount then the Canon Pro 10s – https://www.printerbase.co.uk/canon-pixma-pro-10s-a3-colour-inkjet-printer.html– or Epson P400/P600 would be the better options – https://www.printerbase.co.uk/surecolor-sc-p400-a3-colour-photo-inkjet-printer.html You can find a number of printers that handle 350gsm here. The Canon 100S and Canon 10S are good options from Canon that handle 350gsm. I’ve had a look at the HP 553N and it seems to be suitable for the card i’ll be using if I use the manual feed. For that weight and type of paper, the only models really suitable would be the professional photo range of devices found here. These have the best media handling capabilities and can take media up to 350gsm. As they are suitable for art prints, they are able to print onto canvas and other similar media like cotton rag. Neither the ET-3600 or Brother machine can take 300gsm. Unless stated in the brochure, Epson default media weight is 255gsm across their inkjet machines. The Brother model is rated for 260gsm, which is the weight of the heaviest Brother photo paper I believe. For 300gsm you could look at the iX6850 – https://www.printerbase.co.uk/canon-pixma-ix6850-a3-colour-inkjet-printer.html– or pro photo devices – https://www.printerbase.co.uk/other-devices/photo-printer/high-quality-photo-printers.html– although these are print only and not MFPs.However, there are Mono options which can reach up to 230gsm: https://www.printerbase.co.uk/brother-hl-l2310d-printer.html 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 Printing on card and materials other than standard paper doesn’t have to be as daunting as it may sound. If you’re looking to print on the card for example, then we have a range of printers that can suit your needs.
