Buffalo Proofline Matte Photo Paper | 180gsm Inkjet Sheets & Rolls

Buffalo Proofline Paper | Matte 180gsm Inkjet Paper Sheets & Rolls

Buffalo Proofline Paper is a professional 180gsm matte inkjet paper designed for everyday proofing, presentation graphics, posters, flyers, design layouts, photo samples, CAD/GIS prints, and general production printing. Available in both sheet packs and roll sizes, this matte paper gives print shops, offices, schools, designers, photographers, and creative teams a practical paper option for high-quality aqueous inkjet output.

The smooth matte surface helps reduce glare compared to glossy media, making it easier to view prints under office lighting, studio lighting, retail lighting, or presentation environments. The 180gsm weight gives the paper a heavier feel than standard copy paper, helping printed pieces look cleaner, more professional, and easier to handle for customer proofs, design reviews, and sample presentations.

Choose 8.5×11 and 11×17 sheet packs for standard proofing, presentation prints, flyers, layouts, and handouts. Choose 17×100 and 24×100 rolls for longer print runs, poster production, wide-format layouts, CAD/GIS samples, and larger graphics. This makes Buffalo Proofline Paper a versatile matte inkjet paper for both desktop sheet-fed workflows and roll-fed inkjet printing.
