Magnolia PaperWeight

Designed for hand papermakers, paper conservators, artists, and printmakers who work with paper, the PaperWeight app is an effective tool for paper density analysis, documentation of paper artifacts, quality assurance, calibration, and papermaking preparation.

With PaperWeight, you can quickly and efficiently:
• Find a paper’s density expressed as grams per square meter (GSM or g/m²); enter the paper’s mass and dimensions – rectangle or circular sheets
• Determine the amount of fiber needed to make a sheet of a predefined size and weight.
• Discover the weight (g/m²) of an irregular, torn, fragmented leaf of paper (a technique further described in the document "Determinant Hand Papermaking,” free at www.magnoliapaper.com)
• Find the concentration of pulp (g/ml) required to make a paper of a specified weight by entering the height of a paper mould’s deckle
