Caliper

Caliper is the thickness of a sheet of paper expressed in thousandth of an inch. This measurement is taken with a micro-meter, Normally, paper caliper should not have more than a plus or minus 5% variance throughout the sheet run. The greater the caliper the thicker the paper, or the greater the paper weight, but this depends on the density of the finish as well. Dull will have a greater caliper than gloss, and feel thicker to the touch, but both gloss and dull finishes will have the same weight.
