More about this GDS Satin 260gsm Photo Paper…
GDS Satin 260gsm is a premium quality, instant dry, satin finish, photo paper with a special micro-porous coating provides excellent ink absorption, large colour gamut and improved black definition. GDS Satin 260g has been specially developed for the booming photography and graphic design market this semi gloss finish paper enables you to create photo-realistic prints of impressive colour quality and detail. Thanks to the special ink absorption layer high amounts of ink dries immediately and the print is water resistant. The special properties of this paper also enable you to achieve a large colour gamut and rich black density.
So in basic terms this satin finish photo paper will take a lot of ink for full coverage photos even with dark backgrounds. The invisible inkjet coating layer will grab the wet ink as it hits the page to create a tight, bright and vivid print – the most vivid colours will always be achieved on satin or gloss finish papers.
GDS satin 260gsm photo paper has good lamination properties and therefore can be used for short term outdoor signage if laminated – we would recommend also ideally using pigment inks for printing for this purpose.

- 90gsm Matt Coated Paper – great budget roll for smart plans
- 100gsm Matt Coated Paper – perfectly smooth for that higher quality presentation feel when showing clients your plans and layouts
- 120gsm Matt Coated Paper – a heavier feel for smarter prints or 3D renders – great for portfolios or when the prints might be handled more often
- 165gsm Matt Coated Paper – smart poster paper with a robust feel, capable of handling heavy inks loads for full coverage and images
- 180gsm Matt Coated Paper – same as the 165gsm but some customers prefer the specific 180gsm weight

What Paper sizes fit the Canon iPF670 Printer…?
The iPF670 is an A1 size (24″) floorstanding printer, one of the smallest A1 printers in the Canon imagePROGRAF wide format range. It can take rolls up to 24″ wide / 610mm and up to 90mt long (15cms diameter). We do have customers using 150mt length rolls in the 80gsm papers, but Canon recommend 90mt to be the longest – this is likely due to the phsyical weight of the roll on the spindle which needs to be turned to feed by the motor. The Canon iPF670 can also handle sheets – these need to be loaded individually. Here is an overview of the standard sizes of wide format paper rolls and sheets and the size of prints you can use them for. Sizing varies between traditional CAD sizing where true ISO sheet size is required from rolls, and graphics sizing which is almost always oversized. Where a roll accommodates 2 sizes you can print both by simply turning your print to landscape.
