Canon 8961B004AA Heavyweight Coated Paper Roll 24"

The Canon Heavyweight Coated Paper Roll (8961B004AA) is a 6 mil matte-coated inkjet media engineered for large-format output workflows that demand dimensional stability and consistent color saturation under high ink coverage. At 24 inches wide and 130 feet per roll with a standard 2-inch core, it fits directly into the media handling systems of most wide-format inkjet printers without modification. The heavyweight construction is the critical specification here — lighter coated stocks cockle under full-coverage ink loads as the paper absorbs moisture from the ink, causing surface distortion. The 6 mil weight resists this, maintaining a flat, presentation-ready surface through heavy printing. The matte coating manages dot gain to keep color saturation predictable and prevents bleed-through on ink-dense areas like solid fills and fine-line hatching.

This roll is designed for functional output: check prints, imposition proofs, CAD drawings, pen plotter output, and microfilming applications. It is not a photographic medium — the matte surface trades color depth and shadow density for glare elimination and broad viewing-angle consistency, which is exactly the right trade-off for a proof or presentation context. For design studios, print service providers, and engineering departments running proofing workflows or client-facing print presentations, this stock offers a reliable, consistent substrate that performs predictably across print runs. The 130-foot roll length is practical for moderate-volume environments, reducing the frequency of media changes mid-workflow.
