GDS Superior Matt Barrier Coated Photo Paper is a superb quality, super smooth, matt finish, photo realistic paper with a superior (invisible) barrier coatingspecifically developed to take up to 400% ink loads withoutcockling or warping the paper. This also gives the paper a degree of water resistance (when printed with pigment based inks) making it very popular for all types of prints, which may be used in high moisture environments – kitchens, cafes, canteens, leisure centres, spas, construction sites, etc. Offering the very highest vivid colour reproduction of our matt papers, this media is perfect for producing high quality, full colour, full coverage posters and POS displays.

WHAT PAPER & MEDIA TYPES YOU CAN USE ON THE CANON PRO-2000 PRINTER…?
GDS stocks a huge range of paper and media in rolls and sheets and we know exactly what fits your Canon PRO-2000 Printer.
The Canon PRO-2000 12 colour Photo Printer can print on a very wide range of media from basic papers, to presentation matt, heavyweight matt, satin or gloss photo paper, backlit film, canvas, fine art papers, roller banner, self adhesive, vinyl and even outdoor banner to name the most popular.
The Canon PRO-2000 can print onto roll paper or you can individually load paper sheets to use sheet media, however we much prefer roll feed for ease of use.
The Canon PRO-2000 takes rolls on both 2″ or 3″ inch core (the core is the tube in the centre of the roll) and you will find blue core adaptors that come with the printer. These can be clipped on to the spindle to fill out the 3 inch core rolls.
You don’t have to use Canon branded papers. You will usually find a ‘near enough’ media setting on the Canon PRO-2000 media list on the printer display, but you can also use the Media Configuration Tool to download more Canon branded media types or to custom build your own specific paper setting. Likewise, you can also download IIC profiles for this printer if you choose to use fine art brands such as Innova, Canson, Hahnemuhle, etc.

WHAT PAPER SIZES FIT THE CANON PRO-2000 PRINTER…?
The Canon PRO-2000 A1 size (24″) printer can take rolls up to 24″ wide / 610mm and up to 90mt long (15cms diameter).
Here is an overview of the standard sizes of wide format paper rolls and sheets and the size of prints you can use them for. Sizing varies between traditional CAD sizing where true ISO sheet size is required from rolls, and graphics sizing which is almost always oversized to allow designs with a bleed for trimming. Where a roll accommodates two sizes you can print both by simply turning your print to landscape.
