Grammage - a lamentation

Sure, I’m genuinely curious. :slight_smile:

I’m thinking more and more in gsm, as it’s unambiguous. Those imperial people keep on saying “80lbs” and “90lbs” as if it means something (and it sometimes does) but in practice I just find it real confusing, because they basically never mention if it’s cover or text or bristol or frigging liverpool or whatever it is. :slight_smile:

So far, I’m looking at 240gsm for the calendar, as that’s what one photo shop advised me to use, but a friend who used to do a lot of print stuff says 200gsm should be enough. I have made prints with 148gsm and they do feel a little too flimsy for something that will be hooked to a nail for a year…
