Popular Plotter Paper Types

Vellum plotter paper is the preferred type of plotter paper for archival quality printing due to its smoothness, high quality printing capabilities, and durability.   Its transparent qualities also make it perfectly suited for blueprints and final project design prints.  WAB Paper offers 150’ rolls of 17lb and 20lb weight premium vellum plotter paper in 11”, 22”, 24”, 30”, 34”, 36”, and 42” widths.  It is important to note vellum plotter paper is only for use with inkjet plotter printers.

Translucent bond plotter paper is a highly suitable alternative to vellum plotter paper, especially for higher volume projects when budget may be a larger factor.  There are a few key differences between translucent bond plotter paper and vellum plotter paper.  Translucent bond plotter paper is available at a much lower cost than vellum plotter paper, but lacks the archival quality of vellum.  Translucent bond plotter paper is also usable in both inkjet plotter printers and pen plotter printers.  These key differences make translucent bond plotter paper best applicable for engineering and architectural test prints. Translucent bond large format paper is available from WAB Paper in 18lb rolls of 150’ and 300’, ranging from 11” to 42” wide.
