Inkjet photo paper Lomond 0102012 A3 170 g/m² double-sided

Lomond 0102012 A3 170 g/m² double-sided inkjet photo paper is a coated sheet designed for inkjet printers that require duplex printing with moderate stiffness. The paper size A3 and a grammage of 170 g/m² deliver a balance between flexibility and body, while the double-sided coating allows printing on both faces with good colour reproduction and rapid drying. This paper is suitable for photographic prints, graphic layouts and printed materials that need presentable front-and-back images.

Advantages

The double-sided coating ensures consistent ink absorption and colour density on both sides, reducing show-through and enabling two-sided layouts. At 170 g/m² the stock provides enough stiffness for brochures and sample prints while remaining foldable and easy to handle. The surface treatment is optimized for common dye and pigment inkjet inks, supporting accurate colour rendition and relatively quick drying to minimise smudging during handling and finishing.

Suitable for

• Two-sided brochures and leaflets
• Portfolios and sample books with printed content on both sides
• Graphic proofs and colour test prints
• Presentations, flyers and promotional sheets requiring duplex printing

How to use

Load sheets according to your printer manufacturer’s guidelines for coated or photo media, selecting the A3 size and matching paper weight in the printer driver. For best results choose the print quality setting that corresponds to coated photo paper and allow a short drying time after printing before stacking or finishing. When duplex printing, ensure the printer feed orientation and duplex settings match the paper feed to prevent misalignment or jams. Handle printed sheets by the edges to avoid fingerprints on the coated surface.

Recommendations

Store paper flat in a cool, dry place and keep it in its original packaging until use to avoid moisture absorption. Test a short run to confirm colour profiles and printer settings, especially when using pigment inks or colour-managed workflows. For folded brochures, score before folding to minimise cracking of the coating.
