That is why 20lb bond/75gsm and 32lb/120gsm is listed. The kind of paper used is determined by the situation. Some commercial pre-printed kits have small parts printed on the same weight card stock as the rest of the parts so you have to either use as is or copy onto media that you feel more comfortable with. Some of the electronic kits have the parts that work better on thinner paper separated onto different pages, some do not separate the parts. You have to adapt to the situation.
