Papers
The history of paper began in Ancient Egypt approx. 3,700 BC – 3,200 BC with the use of papyrus as a medium for written records. However, papermaking has traditionally been traced to China about 105 AD, when Cai Lun, an official attached to the Imperial court during the Han Dynasty (202 BC-220 AD), created a sheet of paper using mulberry and other bast fibres along with fishnets, old rags, and hemp waste. The paper was soon widely used in China and spread to the rest of world through the Silk Road. The earliest European papers were made in Spain around 1036 AD primarily from raw materials of linen or cotton rags which gave paper the greatest strength and permanence. As the demand for paper grew, each country, throughout the years, have developed their own special papermaking skills and qualities.
Today, the characteristics sought in each paper is dictated by the particular use and the right choice of paper is imperative for the best results to be achieved.
