From Paper to Toner: Your Complete Printing Service at D&O Partners
When people think of D&O Partners, the image of professional printer rental often immediately comes to mind. And rightly so: for years we have been an established provider of high-quality printing solutions for businesses, schools, institutions and the self-employed. But did you know that our services go far beyond printer rental? At D&O Partners, we also offer an unprecedentedly wide range of papers – suitable for every conceivable project, from everyday office applications to specialized industrial printing applications.
In this article, we’d like to take you through our extensive range of papers and grammages, from glossy to matte, classic to untearable. Find out why D&O Partners is the ideal partner for all your printing and paper needs.
Paper as a Critical Component of Every Print Solution
In the world of printing solutions, the printer obviously plays an important role. But at least as crucial – and often underestimated – is the type of paper being printed on. Choosing the right paper determines not only the visual end result, but also the durability, texture, color intensity, readability and even functionality of the document.
A razor-sharp print on the wrong type of paper can still lead to disappointing results. That is why at D&O Partners we strongly believe in a total approach: quality printing solutions start with a thoughtful choice of the right paper.
A Wealth of Choices: Our Range of Paper Types
We understand that every customer and every project is unique. Therefore, we have developed a wide range of papers suitable for a variety of applications. Below is an overview:
1. Standard Office Paper
For everyday use in printers and copiers, we offer a reliable selection of A5, A4 and A3 paper. Available in grammages from 70 g/m² to 350 g/m², ideal for internal documents, emails, reports and communications.
2. Glossy Paper
Perfect for photos, presentations, brochures and marketing materials. This type of paper provides vibrant colors, a professional appearance and is available up to 300 g/m².
3. Matte Paper
For those who prefer an elegant, non-reflective finish, matte paper is the ideal choice. Great for documents where legibility and writability are important, such as manuals, reports or training materials.
4. Semi-matte or Satin Paper
This paper combines the advantages of matte and glossy: it reflects less than glossy paper, but still provides bright and vibrant colors. It is a popular choice for catalogs and professional portfolio prints.
5. Untearable Paper
For applications that must withstand moisture, tearing and heavy use – think manuals, instructional signs or plans – we offer synthetic paper that is virtually untearable. This type of paper is resistant to rain, dirt, oil and coffee and is widely used in industrial environments or by architects.
6.Recycled & Ecological Paper in an Ecodynamic Enterprise
Sustainability is not a buzzword for us, but a promise. That is why we offer FSC-certified, PEFC-certified and ISO 14001-compliant recycled paper. Perfect for customers who want to make eco-friendly choices without sacrificing quality.
Did you know that companies and organizations in Brussels can receive subsidies for switching to recycled paper? This applies to paper that meets recognized ISO standards (such as ISO 14001) and is FSC or PEFC certified. Therefore, if you work with D&O Partners, you automatically meet the conditions to benefit from these environmental subsidies.
7. Cardboard and High-Grade Paper up to 350 g/m²
For creatives and marketing departments, we offer paper up to 350 g/m² – ideal for invitations, packaging, cards, luxury presentations and product labels. Available in a variety of textures, colors and finishes.
8. Transparent and Lime Paper
For designers, architects and technical departments, we also have transparent paper and lime paper available – indispensable for plan execution, technical drawings or creative work.
9. Photo Paper: Professional Quality for Image Rich Printing Applications
For applications where image quality is key – such as photography, marketing materials, art reproductions or graphic design – we offer a wide selection of professional photo papers. This paper is specially designed for razor-sharp prints with intense colors and maximum detail reproduction.
Grammages: From Light to Ultra Heavy
The grammage determines the thickness and strength of paper. D&O Partners offers a wide selection:
- Lightweight (60 – 90 g/m²): For letters, internal communications.
- Medium (100 – 160 g/m²): For flyers, presentations, courses.
- Heavy (170 – 250 g/m²): Posters, covers, certificates.
- Extra heavy (260 – 350 g/m²): Invitations, business cards, Christmas cards.
We will help you find the perfect grammage for your objective.

At D&O Partners you will find not only standard formats such as A4, but also:
- A5: Useful for flyers, small brochures, receipts.
- A3: Ideal for posters, excel files or architectural drawings.
