MORE ABOUT THE GDS UNCOATED 80GSM & 90GSM PAPER PRODUCTS…
This product is an uncoated plain plotter paper which is available in both rolls and sheets and is perfect for basic drawings in house plans, layouts & CAD work. Our uncoated paper comes in two popular weights.
Traditionally architects and construction firms favoured 80gsm as this grade not only folded very well, but was also the least expensive to post with Royal Mail. Nowadays, as plotters have developed and colour work is pretty much standard we offer two weights as follows:
- 80gsm Draft Uncoated CAD Plotter Paper
- 90gsm Standard Uncoated CAD Plotter Paper
GDS 80gsm Draft Paper is favoured for black and white line work usually associated with technical drawings and layouts, whilst this 90gsm version is favoured by customers adding colour line work and small fills as it will accept a little more ink without ‘cockling’ (warping from too much wet ink). GDS 80gsm Draft Paper is a basic, lightweight, matt surfaced, uncoated paper just like the standard A4 photocopy paper you find in every office printer or copier, just supplied on a roll. It is perfect for check prints, in house plans, and any prints where basic paper will do.
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, AutoCAD 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.
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.

The HP T1600 printer model can also handle sheets – you can load A2, A1 or A0 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.
