Chinese to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Printing & Publishing / materials used in book printing

Chinese term or phrase: 哑粉

A term used to describe materials used in color printing of books. The exact reference:

原料: 内页: 128 克哑粉

In a related specification is the spec " 128gsm". I assume g=gram, but i still don't know what "sm" refers to.

Any help would be appreciated.

FYI:

"纸张的分类
纸张一般依下列几点作分类：①纸质、②重量、③纸度、④用途。"

"粉纸：以书纸或芦苇草作基层，在其表面或两面加上一层粘土或矿物性粉末，经加压滚筒而成，表面极其平滑及有光泽。而高级的粉纸是没有光泽，叫做“哑”光粉纸或称“哑”粉，表面经额外的处理以获致非常平滑。适合于精细的网点。彩色印刷。"

from Google, there seems to be some difference between 哑粉 and 哑光粉?
