What gsm or weight of paper indicate '#'?

Example : 70#

That just means 70lb. Wikidsoup [talk] 23:27, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

All amazon pages I can find list shipping weights for 500-page reams: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000EFQ5AK/ref=ox_ya_oh_product , http://www.amazon.com/HP-Multipurpose-Inkjet-Brightness-11200-0/dp/B00005UKAX/ref=pd_sbs_op_2 , but they're always 1/4 of the listed weight. This implies that the weight is measured per 2000 sheets and not per 1000 as this page asserts. What's correct? 71.217.4.184 (talk) 05:08, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nevermind, scratch that. I just read the explanation of basis reams and it appears that the weight for the letter paper refers to the uncut sheets which are 4x as big. So it's one ream of those. Weird measurement. 71.217.4.184 (talk) 05:10, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Japanese paper weight

Kg/1000 sheets... of what? A standard size such as A0? The specific paper size being purchased? Trimmed or oversize? Tesspub (talk) 10:02, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism?

The article appears to have had chunks cut out of it. In particular, I think these two edits were both vandalism and subsequent editors have not realised and tried merely to patch up the nonsensical results rather than revert the text to something that makes sense:

The resultant sentence "The basis weight of paper is the density of the number of sheets..." doesn't make sense. I'm going to restore the old text. Weeble (talk) 12:19, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Tag Basis Weight

Tag and Bristol are NOT the same Basis Weight. Tag is 24x36x500 like Newsprint.

All three above show Tag as 24x36. I quote product in Tag weight all day, every day, it is 24x36. I would ruin the table if I edited it.
