Imperial -> Metric card weight Anonymous
Hey guys, everywhere on the internets that ever talks about the perfect card weight to use always say "110 lb". (Or around there.)
However, I'm in the UK, and as such I can't buy this mystical card, our paper weights are in GSM.
Can someone please tell me what that weight would be in GSM. I'ld very much appreciate it. :)

Since the American lbs "system" isn't really a system based on a standard, it's kinda difficult/impossible to convert cleanly between lbs and gsm. That's why you get 5 different answers ranging from about 160 gsm to about 300 gsm if you try that (>>37311) site.
But what card modellers mean when they say they use 110 lbs, is about 160 gsm in the rest of the world. But my advice: just sue what works best for you. If that's regular printer paper: perfect! If that's 160 gsm: perfect. If that's 200 gsm: perfect. If that's something else: perfect. You get the picture. ;)

I see, that's interesting thanks. I tend to be using 200 GSM mostly these days. You're probably right about it depending on what works best, just nice to be able to work out what the hell lb is supposed to be to normal people. ;)
