  Subject: RE: [Digital BW] Regarding paper thickness


  GSM is a measure of density - grams per square meter.
  Paper of the same thickness can have different density depending on the
  fiber composition and sheet formation. An alpha cellulose (wood based)
sheet
  will usually have a higher GSM per mil (1/1000 inch) caliper than a cotton
  based paper.
  For example: our Grayhawk (high alpha cellulose) paper is 12 mil caliper
and
  235 GSM. Our Merlin (100% cotton) paper is 15 mil and 255 GSM and our
Condor
  (100% cotton) paper is 20 mil and 325 GSM while our Kestrel (100% cotton
  heavily textured) paper is 25 mil and 325 GSM. Kestrel is manufactured on
an
  entirely different paper machine with a different fiber length and
  composition than Merlin and Condor.
  Clear as mud -right <G>!

  I am looking to find out what the GSM thickness rating is. How does
  the GSM rating compare to mm thickness. For example, how many mm is a
  paper with a GSM of 255? How many GSM is a paper that is 1.3 mm? I am
  also interested in finding out the maximum thickness of paper an Epson
  2200 will handle. Thanks a lot and I appreciate any response. Steve
