Converting gsm paper weights to Japanese kg paper weights

For those used to paper weights described in gsm, we have provided the following conversion guide to help understand the kg equivalents. We use the 四六判 Shirokuban size paper sheets at Mojoprint as the benchmark.

E.g. our 90kg paper corresponds roughly to a 104.7 gsm paper! We recommend getting your hands on our paper sample book to really get a feel for the weights however.
