Where Does It Fit in With Other Papers?
Paper weight is described in various ways. One system uses point sizes that measure the thickness of a single sheet in thousandths of an inch. Basis weight takes a measurement in pounds of the weight of 500 sheets of the standard size of the paper, but because the size of different types of paper is not consistent, comparing basis weights is complicated. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) paper industry standard, which measures weight in grams per square meter (gsm), is deemed the most consistent paper weight system for comparisons between paper types. Bond paper is in the medium textweight range.

| 35–70 gsm | lighter textweight |

A tarpapel (coined from ‘tarpaulin’ and ‘papel’ which is Filipino for paper) is a low-cost alternative to tarpaulin printing. You don’t only save money but also help reduce garbage as bond papers decompose faster than tarpaulins. If you intend to use the tarpaulin for a shorter period then a tarpapel would be your best option.

An advantage for this method is that it is quick. However, its disadvantages include not being able to set the paper size to PH legal size (long size), when the printing gets interrupted, you may have to print each tile individually (which would take long) or reprint all, you cannot set the margins on each tile so you can have enough space for gluing the papers together, and there might be some areas that would not be printed due to mismatch with the printer’s printable area.
