Frequently Asked Questions - Canon Plotter Paper
What's the difference between Canon engineering bond and inkjet bond paper?
Canon Engineering Bond (20#) is designed primarily for xerographic (toner-based) plotters like the Canon PlotWave series, while Canon Inkjet Bond (20#) is specifically formulated for aqueous inkjet printers. Engineering bond offers superior dimensional stability for precise CAD work, while inkjet bond provides faster dry times and better ink absorption for liquid-based printing systems.
Can Canon plotter paper be used with HP DesignJet printers?
Yes, most Canon plotter papers are compatible with HP DesignJet printers. However, for optimal performance with HP PageWide printers, we recommend Canon Treated Bond (24#) Model 4524, which is specifically designed to reduce ink consumption and improve print quality on HP's pigment-based systems.
What roll widths are available for Canon large-format paper?
Canon plotter paper is available in standard AEC widths: 11", 17", 24", 30", 36", and 42". The most popular sizes for architectural and engineering applications are 24" and 36", which accommodate standard D-size (24"×36") and E-size (34"×44") drawings efficiently.
How should Canon plotter paper be stored for optimal performance?
Store Canon plotter paper in a cool, dry environment (60°-75°F, 40-60% humidity) away from direct sunlight. Keep rolls in their original packaging until use, and store vertically when possible. Proper storage ensures consistent print quality and prevents issues like curl or moisture absorption.
What's the shelf life of Canon plotter paper?
When stored properly, Canon plotter paper maintains optimal performance for 2-3 years from the manufacturing date. The premium uncoated bond (Model 86900) has a guaranteed shelf life of 2 years. Always use older stock first to ensure the best print quality.
