It would probably not be an overly dramatic statement for us to make here at Prizma Graphics, if we were to say that many of our customers are more than merely “feeling the pinch”. Instead, they are very much keeping an aggressive lookout for opportunities across their operations to cut costs while minimising any adverse impacts of such “downshifting”. 

And if this describes your situation, you might initially imagine that something as relatively simple as photo paper would not present much scope to save money while still ensuring a good-quality result.

However, we would beg to differ! We make available matt coated inkjet paper, for example, that is ideal as a cost-saving alternative to the more expensive photo paper elsewhere in our product range.

What are some of the great reasons to consider this competitively priced paper?

As you will see when you navigate to the relevant section of our site, we offer an abundance of options for matt coated inkjet paper, in line with various preferences and needs.

These papers can be purchased in weights from 100gsm, right up to the heavyweight 250gsm option, and on 2” and 3” cores. Furthermore, the fact that they are Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified and recyclable, means you can be confident in them still helping your organisation to fulfil its sustainability objectives, despite their lower price.

Of these highly affordable matt coated inkjet paper options, our bestseller is the 180gsm variant. This paper ticks so many of the boxes that you will wish to tick when you are in the market for a premium heavyweight coated plot paper for such applications as CAD, GIS, AEC, and graphic design.

The big ‘selling point’ of these papers beyond their price, of course, is the impressive printing results they make possible. Sure enough, our 180gsm matt coated paper allows for printing at high resolutions of up to 1440dpi, and shows off both vibrant colours and exceptionally dense blacks to formidable effect.

With this 180gsm paper’s non-reflective matt surface, there will be no distraction from the remarkable quality of the image itself, although it is also a paper that is suited to hot and cold lamination, in the event that this is needed. It is a paper that can be used with all dye, pigment, and oil-based wide-format inkjet printers, including the devices of such leading manufacturers as HP, Canon, Epson, and Oce.

This combination of qualities helps to make our 180gsm matt coated inkjet paper an excellent, competitively priced paper that is able to take the heavy ink loads associated with full-colour graphic images, and that even dries quickly.

It is certainly not a mere ‘cheap and cheerful’ option – although as aforementioned, it is also possible to have a paper from our store with much the same benefits at a 250gsm weight, should this be required.

You don’t have to settle for all the usual ‘default’ expensive options

If – whatever specific applications you have in mind – you are looking to switch out some of the photo paper or other printing media you ordinarily use in favour of cheaper alternatives, a change like that outlined above could be well worth considering.

Your organisation can still achieve impressive outcomes from its chosen media, even while keeping at least one eye on ensuring optimal value for money.
