I'm making up some CD desktop calendars and need to choose the correct paper to print them out on. I've only got photo glossy which isn't really suitable so what weight of paper should I choose please.

TIA

well i have never made a calandar before but heavy weight is what you need maybe something like 280gsm

Thanks for that. However 280gsm does seem very heavy (it's more than my Epson glossy) will I get 13 sheets of this into a CD case ?

IMO 160gsm should do.
 
Well, you could go up to 320gsm and still have room to spare and you'd get something that felt more substantial...the problem is, how will you print them out? Most home printers will struggle with anything over 160gsm...
 
For any kind of volume, yes....

You could maybe get away with 200gsm for shorter runs
 
Thanks for all the help I've plumped for 190gsm & that's fine bearing in mind each month is relatively small and sits in a CD cover
