Matte Paper
Your paper type selection for matte paper depends on the paper’s ink absorption capacity. To select a paper
category and type, first identify if your paper is general purpose or photographic. Then select the
recommended paper types.
General-purpose paper
●
For natural tracing papers, select paper type Natural Tracing Paper < 65 g/m2 or Natural Tracing
Paper > 65 g/m2, depending on the weight of the paper.
●
For thin papers (< 90 g/m
2
) uncoated papers (for example plain paper or bright white paper) select
paper type Bond and Coated Paper > Plain Paper.
●
For light coated papers (< 110 g/m
2
), select paper type Bond and Coated Paper > HP Coated Paper.
●
For heavyweight coated papers (< 200 g/m
2
), select paper type Bond and Coated Paper > Heavyweight
Coated Paper.
●
For cockle-free very thick coated papers (> 200 g/m
2
), select paper type Bond and Coated Paper >
Super Heavyweight Coated Paper.
Photographic paper

Black ink is easily removed when touched
