The basis weight of the material is among the most fundamental properties of both paper and board. It works as the backbone of the printing industry. In professional printing, GSM or grammage or square meter is an essential factor in determining the quality and performance of printing materials. Comprehending the GSM of the material using a competent grammage tester or a quadrant paper scale , results in exceptional printing and meeting the industry standards. What is GSM? GSM refers to the paper’s weight per unit area. The higher the paper weight, the heavier the paper is. In fact, when the thickness of the paper increases, the weight itself increases and vice versa. Paper manufacturers, printers, and research organisations make use of a GSM tester or quadrant paper scale to determine the GSM. First, a specimen of the required size is cut and prepared using a dedicated sample cutter . The cutter is a crucial part of the GSM kit, which ensures the cutting of the rig...
