HP Super Heavyweight Plus Matte Paper, 3-in Core - 36"x200'
Designed for professionals who demand gallery-worthy color and true-to-life detail, HP Super Heavyweight Plus Matte Paper delivers exceptional full-color graphics and photo-realistic images on a durable, premium matte surface. This heavyweight roll features a barrier layer beneath a thick top coating that minimizes ripple and curl, ensuring smooth, consistent prints from edge to edge. With a 3-inch core for stable feeding and a generous 36" width by 200' length, it’s the ideal choice for high-volume posters, banners, art reproductions, and signage where precise color fidelity and elegant matte aesthetics matter most.
- Professional-grade print quality for color-rich graphics and photo-realistic images. The combination of a barrier layer under a robust top coating delivers crisp highlights, rich shadow detail, and smooth gradations, so your work reads with depth and clarity across multiple viewing distances.
- Ripple-free, warp-resistant performance. The barrier layer works with the matte top coating to reduce curl and ripple during long prints and after hang-time, helping your posters and proofs lay flat and look consistent from first print to final display.
- Generous roll size for large projects. 36 inches wide and 200 feet long provide ample material for expansive graphics, vehicle wraps proofs, gallery panels, and ongoing print runs, reducing the need for frequent roll changes.
- 3-inch core for reliable, stable feeding. The standard 3-inch ID core supports smooth loading in most large-format printers, minimizing jams and misfeeds during heavy-duty production cycles.
- Matte finish with neutral, museum-grade appeal. The premium matte coating delivers rich color contrast without glare, producing professional-looking prints that reproduce subtle textures and fine details with accuracy.
