More about this GDS Matt Coated 120gsm Paper…
GDS Matt Coated 100gsm Paper is a high quality, bright white, coated, smooth, matt finish presentation paper which is ideal for printing presentation work on your HP T130 printer with a high-end feel than basic uncoated paper. To describe it in basic terms, it is about the weight of a decent writing paper. It is ideal for client presentations when you need your line drawings and designs to have that extra special edge. Coated paper has an invisible layer on the surface (like a super fine matt varnish) which grabs the wet ink as it hits the page during printing and keeps a ‘tight’, bright & vivid print to add to the soft, smooth feel when handled. This paper will take a little more ink than the 100gsm version, meaning you can use this grade to print colourful designs such as portfolio plans and designs or light coverage wallcharts or posters.
Our GDS brand rolls are made for us by outstanding manufacturers including Océ, Canon and Xerox to give you the very best quality at the lowest price possible.

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.
The rolls we suggest for the HP T130 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 standard sizes 50mm (2″) and 76mm (3″) – Note the T130 cannot handle larger 3 inch core rolls.
Our T130 paper range should give you a paper product that is suitable for any of your print jobs. Our most popular papers are:

- 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 – 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.
What Paper sizes fit the HP T130 Printer…?
The HP T130 is an A1 size (24″) desktop printer, the smallest A1 printer in the HP DesignJet wide format category. It can take rolls up to 24″ wide / 610mm and up to 50mt long (10cms diameter). The HP T130 can also handle sheets – the cassette can be loaded with A3 or A4 paper to feed continuously or you can load A2 or A1 sheets 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.
