Thickest I know is 220 too

Be careful out there, paper is a nightmare on eco solvent, three different eco solvent printers and non print well on paper, the ink does not dry, we have two HP1050C for printing on paper

D tec dries very well if run on uni directional and on a pick up roller..
although i have to admit on our roland its utter pants for posters 🙁

Stuart guess what i have a Roland !!!
someone must make something that looks like a paper that thicker than 220 gsm ?
oh well on with the search.
cheers

I use a 200gsm.
Trouble I’ve found the thicker the paper, the harder it is to dry, as it takes longer for the heater to heat the paper.
Only over option is to run it in Omni-Directional high quality to increase the time for the print to dry… but takes and age.
Experiment with different profiles. We use MD-5 profile on posters and depending on the artwork come off touch dry.

JimWe have used a heavy weight Hydrsol. Pretty sure that was pushing 300gsm. Might be worth a call to Robert Horne.
