I wrote to the makers of Stonehenge paper when we had a customer question.
\nThe were quite helpful \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Q- There is some confusion about the weight of your paper. Retailers seem to have a variety of conversions for the 250gsm to pounds. Can you please tell me the weight of the Stonehenge paper in pounds?<\/p>\n

A- A 22×30 sheet of 250gsm paper can be translated into a variety of weight terms, which all correspond to the same basis weight (depending on the ‘language’ used). For example, a 250gsm sheet of Stonehenge is all of the following:<\/p>\n

169lb text
\n92lb cover
\n138lb index
\n154lb tag<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

Jackson’s has decided to avoid the confusion and stick with the GSM that is used by the maker of the paper and not use the pounds at all.<\/p>\n

ps – gsm is Grams per Square Metre. So it is specific in itself, without any qualifier words.<\/p>\n

Here is the Stonehenge paper on the Jackson’s site<\/a>. This paper has many uses and is particularly suited to coloured pencil drawings. It comes in a variety of neutral colours in 2 sizes of sheets, a roll and pads. We stock two colours in large sheets until we run out – they are 320gsm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
