Gloss Coated Art Stocks

Glossy Paper/Card Stocks

These stocks are called Coated Stocks

or sometimes Art Papers.

Same type and feel as the papers

used in Magazines and Pamphlets

It is a wood free multicoated paper and card stock.

It has a very glossy smooth feel.

But it is NOT like a mirror gloss

Inkjet Printers

This stock is not specifically designed or rated for ink jet printers.

You should request a sample to try before purchasing.

Laser Printers

The stock should be ok for dry toner (laser) printers, but again

no specific rating or guarantee can be provided for any particular machine.

I can say that these paper stocks work perfectly with commercial laser

printers such as Xerox and cannon.

You should request a sample to try before purchasing if you have any doubts.

Apart from commercial laser printrers, we cannot make any recommendation

for suitability for any specific printer laser or inkjet.

*** Important notes about thickness

*** further down the listing

This stock does vary in whiteness from lot to lot.

Weight: Various (LOW Opacity) (see below for comaparisons)

GSM = Grams per Square Metre and is a measure of paper density (grammage)

The GSM is not a measure of thickness but can be an indicator.

Opacity is the best indicator for thickness

High Opacity means it is bulky for its weight and would feel thicker for its weight

Normal Opacity means the thickness would be similar to the general expectation

Low Opacity means it is more compressed and feels thinner for its weight

* PEFC and FSC certified
