Great video. I learned a lot about paper density. I just printed my first print from the samples I got and now I'm understanding that the gsm isn't the only thing affecting the thickness of the paper.
Great video, this is something that can be very confusing. I'm glad to hear y'all are moving to all GSM - I was just thinking about doing this in my shop this morning!
Inkjet coatings are basically the same regardless of weight. A good example is Red River Paper's Premium Matte line. It is available in 32lb. and up to 60lb. The coating is the same on all weights.
@@chrissyandhenrypastora2256 I think it misunderstood the question. Are you talking about a coating that you spray onto the paper - or are you talking about the coating on the paper that makes it inkjet printable? Once I know that I can answer better.
@@Redrivercatalog it's the coating that is applied to the paper. Is that coating thicker? Or is a heavier pound paper, heavier only due to the paper thickness and not the coating?
@@chrissyandhenrypastora2256 Coating thickness is basically the same from light to heavy paper. When you find a "heavy" inkjet paper, most of that weight is the paper.
Incredibly confusing system... I think the bottom line for a designer is simply the thickness of the paper which as you described is not necessarily defined by the listed weight.

Great info &, thank you.
Hello. For photo paper, is the coating that goes on top of the paper all the same for when using a heavier paper?

@@Redrivercatalog hello, I was referring to the coating on the photo paper (not the ink). Thank you

When it comes to printer compatibility, you are correct.
This is soOo boring but I need to learn this
