I'm totally confused still. I was just at an office supply store in the US and saw a package of COVER stock with a label on the package that read "67 lb - 148 gsm". I also saw a package of CARD stock (same overall sheet size of 8.5 x 11) and the label on that package read "48 lb - 180 gsm". If the weight of the paper listed in units of lb goes down, i.e. from 67 to 48, shouldn't the gsm also go down? In this case it did not. I've read the posts in the forum about paper weights but still don't get it.
