papel caple de 14 a 20 puntos
Spanish to English
Art/Literary
graphic art, paper
This is a kind of paper used for drawing. Does anybody know what puntos are. Would 20 puntos be 200gm per metre? That would make it a light card, such as I use for printing business cards. Is it filled with chalk to make it smoother?

"puntos" are about paper thickness
Hello Ian,
I found this definition about "puntos" in paper:
"El Grosor de las cartulinas se mide por su calibre (puntos). A menor puntaje más delgadas las cartulinas y las más comunes van desde 10 pts. incrementándose de 2 en 2 hasta llegar a 24 pts. las más gruesas y resistentes, los calibres superiores a esta medida se clasifican como cartones corrugados..."
Good luck and Happy New Year from Oso ¶:^)
