What is the thinnest, most light weight printable media you know of?

The lightest weight I've seen in rolls is 18# which is like 70gsm, but it was crap to work with. It was from Spicer Papers here in the US.

We ran a tonne of the canon 75gsm through or colourwave when we had it. Pretty sure there’s a lot crappier media’s about though. Biggest worry would be running it through your Colorado and getting it cured if it’s uncoated

You order double of what you need and double the price.

ha, no light weight paper is easy to work with. i'll have a look for it.
thanks for this!
i haven't ran uncoated though the colorado yet, but i have ran some thin media before. i believe in matte mode, it'll cure fine though.

See if you can find out what the F1 teams use to print their sponsor decals. Not kidding. I used to know what it was but had no call for it. IIRC it's way less than half the thickness of the cellophane on a pack of cigarettes.
It needs to be so thin because regular cast vinyl is so thick(LOL) it upsets the aerodynamics.
This has been your semi-interesting bit of oddball info for the day.
