Frequently Asked Questions About 24lb Coated Paper
What's the difference between 24lb coated and uncoated plotter paper?
24lb coated paper features a special inkjet-receptive coating that prevents ink bleed, enhances color vibrancy, and provides water resistance. The coating allows for sharper details and richer colors compared to an uncoated bond, making it ideal for presentations, color CAD drawings, and graphics where image quality matters. Uncoated 24lb bond is better for basic line drawings and text documents.
Is 24lb coated paper compatible with my HP DesignJet or Canon imagePROGRAF?
Yes, our 24lb coated papers are universally compatible with all major inkjet plotters, including HP DesignJet, Canon imagePROGRAF, and Epson SureColor series. The papers work with both thermal and piezo inkjet technologies and are optimized for both dye and pigment inks. All rolls come on standard 2-inch cores that fit most large-format printers.
How much coverage can I expect from a roll of 24lb coated paper?
Coverage depends on your roll width and length. For example, a standard 36" x 300' roll provides approximately 900 square feet of printing surface. At typical CAD print densities, this yields about 150-200 D-size (24"x36") prints or 75-100 E-size (36"x48") prints. Actual yield varies based on print coverage and margins.
What's the shelf life of 24lb coated plotter paper?
When stored properly in a cool, dry environment (65-75°F, 35-65% humidity), 24lb coated paper maintains optimal print quality for 2-3 years. Keep rolls in their original packaging until use, store horizontally on racks, and avoid direct sunlight. Once opened, use within 6 months for best results. The acid-free formulation ensures long-term archival stability for printed documents.
Can I use 24lb coated paper for outdoor displays?
While 24lb coated paper offers water resistance for handling and short-term display, it's not designed for extended outdoor use. For temporary outdoor applications (1-3 days), lamination is recommended. For permanent outdoor displays, consider our vinyl or polypropylene media options which offer superior weather resistance and UV stability.
