Default Rhett...

The paper stock is correctly id'ed as "heavy paper" (as oppsed to tissue paper, or typing paper, etc.) as sure it is thin but compared to most "paper" it was relatively thick--so he was correctly describing the stock as "heavy".

Rhett, I respectively disagree, as Coupon's are thinner than typing paper. They are equivalent to notebook paper (That was my point in the last post) if you take notebook paper and cut it out the same dimensions as T card, they feel one in the same.

I do however understand why they called it heavy, but I think that is technically wrong. (If you take a piece of notebook paper, cut it to T dimension, then it is not as flimsy. You would not call this paper heavy, although it is more rigid all of a sudden compared to had you left the notebook paper 8x11)

Sorry to split hairs again, but perhaps a fun project would be to get a proffessional to measure a Coupon and a piece of Notebook paper, Typing paper, etc. for comparison sake. Maybe the findings would be more glaring...
