Important notes about thickness and printers below

Coated Paper/Card Gloss Stock White

Gloss both sides of sheet

A4 170gsm Light Card

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 art paper/card stock.

It has a very glossy smooth feel.

But it is NOT like a mirror gloss

Size: A4 (210mm x 297mm) (approx 8.4" x 11.9")

Colour: White

This stock does vary in whiteness from lot to lot.

Weight: 170gsm (125um) (VERY LOW Opacity)

Normal uncoated 170gsm stock is 190um

This 170gsm coated stock will feel like an

uncoated 100gsm about 25% thicker than 80gsm copy paper

UM's means actual thickness in Micromillimeters

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 and feels thicker than the normal weight expectation.

• Low Opacity - means it is more compressed and feels thinner than the normal weight expectation.

• Normal Opacity - means it is considered consistent with the general thickness for the normal weight expectation

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 printers, we cannot make any recommendation

for suitability for any specific printer laser or inkjet.
