What is Paper Thickness?
The paper thickness of a printer refers to the maximum thickness of paper that the printer is capable of handling.
This specification is important to consider when selecting a printer for specific printing needs, as different types of paper can have different thicknesses. For example, standard office paper is typically around 80-90 grams per square meter (gsm), while cardstock or other thicker paper may be around 200-300 gsm or higher. Some printers are capable of handling thicker paper or cardstock, while others may be designed primarily for standard office paper. The paper thickness of a printer is typically listed in the printer's specifications, and may be expressed in terms of millimeters (mm), inches (in), or gsm. It is important to select a printer that can handle the desired paper thickness for the intended application, in order to ensure that the printer can produce high-quality prints without jamming or other issues.
