Reply To: Print Related Q: Paper Weight Calculator?

It should be easy to calculate!

Paper specs are usually given in “grams”, such as “80g”. That is the weight per square meter. Given the paper weight, the page size and the number of pages, I think this would suffice:

width x height x weight x numberOfPages/2

where width and height are in meters, weight in grams, and numberOfPages in, erm, numbers. (…) The result is in grams as well.

You can test it with an 80 g A4 page — this should be about 5 g (1 A4 is 1/16th of a square meter, per definition).

… I don't know exactly how much the ink weighs, though.
