there are not enough words in the english language to express my frustration with paper categorization
#lbs vs gsm#text vs cover vs book vs bond vs writing vs ledger vs offset#and then the poundage is different based off use! 70lb cover is thicker than 70lb text!#coated vs uncoated#matte vs lustre vs semigloss vs gloss#one sided vs two sided#inkjet vs laser#like i KNOW what i need#i need a 70-100lb double-sided gloss text paper that works for inkjet#but then when you go to any online shop they give you photo paper brochure paper or copy paper#sometimes theyll get more specific they'll tell you what finish the paper is#and then it seems like it's 50/50 whether they use lbs or gsm#and for some reason lbs seems more common for laser printer paper while gsm seems more common for inkjet paper#but its not 1000% guaranteed#like it shouldnt be this hard#and i know a lot of it is due to which type of printer you use like its a lot harder to make coated paper for an inkjet printer#due to the ink sitting on top and bleeding into the paper vs being like blasted on and bonded by lasers#and if i had a laser printer it would be a lot better for what i'm trying to make#but i unfortunately only have access to inkjets#but i do think i found some paper that will work i just have to hope its decent quality#plus i have to hope that it /is/ what i'm looking for
