GDS stocks a huge range of paper and media in rolls and sheets and we know exactly what fits your HP T730 Printer and what doesn’t!
The HP T530 A1 & A0 Models can print on a range of media. They are aimed at the low to mid volume architectural, construction & design users so it’s perfect for mainly printing plans, layouts, technical drawings, presentation designs, etc, but you can easily print on the following media types:
If your paper is a transparent film (for example, a transparency), select paper type Film > Transparent/Clear film. If your paper is a translucent paper or film (for example, technical or tracing paper), select paper type Film > Matte film.
Your paper type selection for generic paper depends on the paper’s ink absorption capacity.
For natural tracing papers, select paper type Natural Tracing Paper < 65 g/m2 or Natural Tracing Paper > 65 g/m2, depending on the weight of the paper.
For thin papers (< 90 g/m2 ) or uncoated papers (for example plain paper or bright white paper), select paper type Bond & Coated Paper > Plain Paper. You can select Recycled Bond Paper.
For light coated papers (< 110 g/m2 ), select paper type Bond and Coated Paper > HP Coated Paper.
For heavyweight coated papers (< 200 g/m2 ), select paper type Bond and Coated Paper > Heavyweight Coated Paper
If your paper is a photo paper, use the Photo Paper category. For glossy or high-gloss paper select paper type Photo Gloss Paper. For Semi-gloss, Satin, Pearl, or Lustre finishes, select paper type Photo Semi-gloss/Satin Paper. To increase gamut on photo paper, select paper type HP Universal Gloss Photo Paper or HP Universal Satin Photo Paper, depending on the finish.
Whether you need T530 CAD paper (uncoated basic plain white paper) for printing technical drawings and layouts, T530 Presentation paper (coated with a unique inkjet layer to give a higher quality print), T530 Heavyweight paper, or T530 Photo Paper to make sure your displays look tip top, we can pinpoint the roll or sheet pack for you. We have put together a selection of our most popular rolls and sheets for you to choose from, with total peace of mind for excellent print results.

The rolls we suggest for the HP T530 printer are all supplied on a 2 inch core (50mm) (this is the tube in the centre of the paper roll which slides onto the printer spindle). Cores come in two industry standard sizes 50mm (2″) and 76mm (3″). Note the T530 printers cannot handle larger 3 inch core rolls.
