If looking to foil, there isn’t anything in a Samsung for this unfortunately. There aren’t any A3 Samsung models and in any case, their kit only does 220gsm maximum. The only things we have for that weight of paper are the OKI C911 and Xerox 7800, neither of which is any good for foiling though if this is in fact what you’re looking for. The Xerox C9000DT is the only laser we have capable of this GSM: https://www.printerbase.co.uk/xerox-versalink-c9000dt-a3-colour-laser-printer.html I would need a laser printer to print paper cards of standard office paper size 68x98mm. The OKI MC363 printer met this condition (the minimum user paper size was 60×94 mm), the problem is that it is no longer sold. Grammage is more commonly referred to by its unofficial abbreviation: GSM. While grammage is technically the proper term for paper weight, most printers in English-speaking countries refer to GSM as the “weight” of a card.
If you are planning to use a textured paper then you may be better of with an inkjet machine such as the Canon IX6850, which can handle up to 300gsm photo media – https://www.printerbase.co.uk/canon-pixma-ix6850-a3-colour-inkjet-printer.html At the moment we are a really small business, we don’t have a large budget, and we don’t have a lot of space. We do however want a reasonably good quality print, and are willing to invest the minimum required to get that. What would you recommend as the ‘sweet spot’ printer? We would recommend 2 printers. The Canon PIXMA iX6850 or Canon PIXMA TS9550 printers depending on your budget. If you are setting a fold in colour, we recommend creasing from a grammage of 250gsm onwards so that the colour does not split at the fold. I have done SO much research on wedding stationary and paper but i think im at the point where my brain will not understand/ convert wedding stationary unit (lb or 10pt) versus gsm vs gm/2.The ix6850 will print on 260gsm papers no problem, but the issue is with the feed mechanism and the aperture. Whilst the old one may have worked OK, it certainly would not have been recommended to print papers with apertures. The issue being that the feed rollers won’t be able grip the paper where the hole is, which would lead to skewing and likely a jam. It’s possible that some may work, but there is no way to be sure nor can we make a recommendation for any as it is outside of the manufacturer specification.
According to the type of brochure and the kind of binding used, you can choose from the paper grammages set out here. We have been printing on a 300 gsm matte finish paper. (Our concern is not with weight per se but with delivering a product that feels high quality in the hand). Cover paper and inner paper need different conversion formulas, so make sure to be clear about which you need. The best options that we have are the Xerox 7800 and OKI C911, both of which can print on 350gsm card. The weight range of standard office paper, used in your desktop laser printer or photocopier and would rarely be used for brochures.A5 Natural Green Card 50 Sheets Light Green Card 160gsm Coloured A5 Printer Photocopier Coloured Card Sheets Movingaway from paper, this is regarded as card (board) weights which can add a quality finish to a book if used as a cover. Yes, we have a number of printers which will print on to 350gsm paper in 12cm x 12cm size. However it depends if you want the printer to be Inkjet or Laser, we have a suitable inkjet printer which is a Canon Pixma 100s – https://www.printerbase.co.uk/canon-pixma-pro-100s-a3-colour-inkjet-printer.html. Alternatively, please let us know what you are looking to print, so we can help you find the right printer.
Our Pro photo range would be best for this – https://www.printerbase.co.uk/other-devices/photo-printer/high-quality-photo-printers.html– Everything except the Pro 100s would be suitable for the weight and feed from the top feeder as opposed to a tray at the front to reduce curl. The SC-P400 – https://www.printerbase.co.uk/surecolor-sc-p400-a3-colour-photo-inkjet-printer.html– or Pro 10S – https://www.printerbase.co.uk/canon-pixma-pro-10s-a3-colour-inkjet-printer.html would be good options. Hi Gemma, unfortunately the only range of machines currently available that we are confident will work are the Samsung models here – https://www.printerbase.co.uk/printers/laser-printers/mono-laser-printers/a4-mono-laser-printers/samsung.html These are in short supply though as Samsung no longer manufacture printers since HP took over their print business last year. There aren’t any others we could suggest as much older machines that may have worked are no longer in production and so are not available.These are the printers we’d recommend for printing on card: https://www.printerbase.co.uk/printer-by-feature/card-printing.html. After all the portrayals and clarifications here, you may need to get a vibe for the scope of papers accessible yourself, in which case you are welcome to request print paper sample. On the off chance that you have some other inquiries, I’ll be content to answer them on the off chance that you post them in the remarks box. Paper Type Paper Finishing I’ve had a look over your requirements and found the Xerox Phaser 6510DNI to suit your needs. It offers great print quality and handles paper up to 220GSM at A4. Please see the link below.
The max rated paper weight for Epson non-pro models is 256gsm photo papers. Anything over 256gsm is usually reserved for their range of professional photo printers only, such as the P400, P600 and P800 models.

The only models that can take multiple sheets of the heaviest media are the professional photo machines found here. Standard desktop models are not suited to the heavier weights of paper and those that can take the paper weight tend to have a single sheet feed tray. The Epson P400 and Canon pro 10s would be good options. If that doesn’t work, please get in touch via LiveChat or our sales team and we can see on assisting you further. I want to print on kraft recycled paper for wedding stationery and cards. Which printer would you advise for this please? I’m hoping this will be a new business venture, but don’t have a huge budget to start with. gsm is an unusual grammage for folded leaflets, but is popular for large-sized prints due to its stability.
Great Deal
