I took a quick look at www.hp.com to see how a printer manufacturer describes paper for the US market. It said: "media weight, recommended 16 to 28 lb" http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/ho/WF06b/18972-236251-236263-14638-f13- 45674-45675-45677.html Clicking the 'printable data sheet' link at the top right resulted in a sheet that said: "Media weights: 16 to 28 lb, (60 to 163 g/m2)" http://www.hp.com/itrc_pdi/products/pdfs/lj1000.pdf Perhaps it might be time to start asking printer web sites to quote metric values without having to dig down like that.
