What gsm is newsprint paper?
Newsprint is usually 45gsm to 52gsm. Our standard newsprint is 48gsm, sold in packs of 500 sheets.
Does newsprint turn yellow?
Yes. Newsprint contains lignin, so it yellows and becomes brittle within months. For anything you want to keep, print on woodfree paper instead.
