More about this GDS Matt Coated 165gsm Paper…
GDS Matt Coated 165gsm Paper is a high quality, white, coated, smooth, matt finish presentation paper which is ideal for printing display work on your HP T520 printer. This paper is favoured by some of our customers for being slightly less ‘bright white’ than our 120g and 180g although we think this is very subtle and hardly distinguishable. It is ideal for posters, wallcharts, portfolio work or client presentations where your prints are to be handled a lot. 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 good amount of ink, meaning you can use this grade to print full coverage colourful designs and images.
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.
GDS holds huge stocks of printing paper and media in our North West warehouse. If you are not sure what you need just give theGDS Sales Teama call on01625 613548and we will be happy to advise and recommend a product to perfectly match your printer and your requirements.

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.
