Magnolia PaperWeight 2.1

The PaperWeight app is specifically crafted for hand papermakers, paper conservators, artists, and printmakers engaged in paper-related processes. This tool excels in facilitating paper density analysis, documenting paper artifacts, ensuring quality control, calibrating materials, and streamlining papermaking preparations.

Key features of the PaperWeight app include:

• The ability to quickly ascertain a paper’s density in grams per square meter (GSM or g/m²) by inputting the paper’s mass and dimensions for both rectangular and circular sheets.
• A functionality that calculates the quantity of fiber necessary to produce a sheet of a predetermined size and weight.
• The capability to determine the weight (g/m²) of irregular, torn, or fragmented pieces of paper, referencing techniques outlined in the document "Determinant Hand Papermaking," available free at www.magnoliapaper.com.
• A feature that identifies the concentration of pulp (g/ml) needed for a specific paper weight by entering the height of a paper mould’s deckle.
