Hi!
I am a new bee of this forum.
I want to know, what is the meaning of "Text" term used in Printing Specification sheet

Example:
Stock:
Text : 80gsm Art Paper
Cover: 170 Art Card

so, what is the technical term of TEXT.
Please help me.

Thanks
Rashed

In this context I would imagine it's stating that the copy/text pages of the publication will print on different paper stock from the cover

Also, in my experience, Cover paper stock can take a total ink limit of 340 at the most where Text can handle 300 at the most. This causes your images to look different. You'll want to take this into consideration when converting your file from rgb to cmyk. You don't want to convert a image going on text paper with a 340 total ink icc profile.
