MORE ABOUT THE GDS UNCOATED 90GSM PAPER PRODUCTS…
GDS 90gsm Standard Inkjet Plotter Paper is a smooth matt surfaced, bright white, uncoated paper ideal for in-house drawings, check prints, colour line work, layouts, plans, Auto CAD drawings, maps and technical drawings. It is a fraction heavier than the 80gsm Draft Paper so our customers prefer it for colour work or where their plans have fills as an everyday value for money paper.
What paper types you can use on the Canon TM-200 Printer…?
GDS stocks a huge range of paper and media in rolls and sheets and we know exactly what fits your Canon TM-200 Printer and what doesn’t!
The Canon TM-200 can print on a wide range of media. The new pigment ink system in this printer makes it a versatile model for architectural, construction, designers, schools, retailers and many more, printing plans, layouts & technical drawings as well stunning quality presentation designs, portfolios, posters, wallcharts and banners. The Canon TM-200 can also print borderless on heavier weight roll media (no margin – print edge to edge) allowing you to print posters and images on the full sheet size.
What GDS recommends from our range for your perfect Canon TM-200 prints…
Whether you need TM-200 CAD paper (uncoated basic plain white paper) for printing technical drawings and layouts, TM-200 Presentation paper (coated with a unique inkjet layer to give a higher quality print), TM-200 Heavyweight paper, or TM-200 Photo Paper to make sure your images look tip-top, we can pinpoint the roll or sheet pack for you. We have put together a selection of the most popular rolls and sheets for you to choose from, with total peace of mind for excellent print results.
Most of the rolls we suggest for the Canon TM-200 printer are 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 standard sizes 50mm (2″) and 76mm (3″) and the Canon TM-200 can handle both 2 and 3 inch cores – just use the core adaptors that come with the printer to use the larger 3 inch core rolls. In fact, one of the most popular rolls for everyday technical drawings is a 594mm x 175mt 75gsm plain uncoated paper, which falls within the max 15cms roll diameter, comes on a 3 inch core and is great for avoiding changing the roll too often, meaning you can load up and get on with printing. A roll like this will produce approx. 208 x A1 drawings!
Our TM-200 paper range should give you a paper product that is suitable for any of your print jobs. Our most popular papers are:
- 75gsm Uncoated Paper (3″ core)– basic paper on a long length roll to minimise paper reloading
- 80gsm Uncoated Paper– basic line drawings
- 90gsm Uncoated Paper– slightly heavier for in house line drawings maybe with a bit of colour or the odd fill
- 112gsm Tracing Paper– where translucent prints are needed for overlays
- 110 micron Double Matt Film– a polyester translucent tracing film with water resistance and anti-rip robustness
- 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
- 190gsm Satin Photo Paper– a lovely sheened surface without too much glare – great for wall posters – the sharpest most vivid colours and a really professional result
- 190gsm Gloss Photo Paper– same as the Satin but this one has a very high gloss surface
- 260gsm Satin Photo Paper– the heavier version of satin photo which is popular for higher end images
- What Paper sizes fit the Canon TM-200 Printer…?
The TM-200 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 175mts long (15cms diameter). The Canon TM-200 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.
