If all are good for foiling, and toner on all three Samsung suitable for foiling, I would rather opt for Samsung M2835DW as it also has the wireless capability.

Which machine would be suitable is going to be down to the media itself. For example, are they laser or inkjet suitable? Do you have a particular type of waterproof paper you are planning to use and if so what is the paper weight and is it laser or inkjet media? 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. Hello! Im looking for a laser printer that can handle 280/300gsm paper and that has a really good photo/graphics quality printing, as I would be printing kids birthday invitations mostly. On the other hand, flyers promoting a sale or event are usually disposable, hence why they’re made from the lightest, flimsiest low-GSM paper. The current recommendation we could give for foiling would be the Samsung M3320ND model, which can handle a maximum of 220gsm via the bypass feeder – https://www.printerbase.co.uk/samsung-m3320nd-a4-mono-laser-printer.htmlGreat question, the Canon IX6850 has been tested on most 300gsm paper to print fine. The only thing we’ve noticed is a very, very slight bleed on textured paper. Due to Dye-based inks on this printer. For a laser printer which will print on the same spec you will need to look at the Xerox Phaser 7800dn – https://www.printerbase.co.uk/xerox-phaser-7800dn-sra3-colour-led-printer.html which is a lot more in price. Printing on Sulphate cardboard isn’t something Printerbase or Printer manufacturers have tested, so I can’t guarantee anything would work on these for certain. Alternatively, please let us know what you are looking to print, so we can help you find the right printer.

I’ve got two options, the Canon PIXMA IX6850, this can print up to 300gsm but uses dye-based inks. I’ve attached a link for you to look at below.

If you are setting a fold in colour, we recommend scoring from a grammage of 170 gsm onwards so that the colour does not split at the fold. It looks good but i also need to be able to print on 180gsm paper. It says on the specs that it prints up to 163 GSM. Thank you for your valuable information. I’m finding it really hard to find a printer that best suits my needs im hoping you can help. I am looking for a printer (laser ideally for speed) that can print additional information onto existing leaflets/flyers. I’m a photographer and use a QR code system for managing volume photography events. So for school photography every child gets a QR code that is photographed at the start of their sessions and when the images are uploaded the software automatically puts the images in the corresponding galleries. 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.

It would be a normal Inkjet printer we recommend https://www.printerbase.co.uk/canon-pixma-ix6850-a3-colour-inkjet-printer.html After some research it sounds like your paper isn’t compatible with your printer, can you confirm the paper you’re using has been designed for an Inkjet printer? Thank you for getting in touch. We don’t have a printer we could recommend for the size of prints you’re doing. It’s advised to use an A4 sheet of paper and cutting it down to reach this size. It’s not stupid at all! As far as we’re concerned they are the exact same. The specs are the same and they perform the same function. It appears that they are the same model but with a slightly different model name depending on the area. E.g. UK, Europe etc. Here’s a link to take a look over https://www.printerbase.co.uk/canon-imageprograf-pro-1000-a2-photographic-printer.html

Diverse paper grammages

It has duplex print, scan and copy functions and has a maximum media handling capability of 250gsm. However, there are some caveats: I am looking into a laser printer that would also allow me to both foil and also make use of the colour printing.
