What are the differences between handmade and machine made fine art papers?
Most fine art papers that are used today are machine made. The reason for this is not only economic but because machine made papers provide an extremely consistent surface for fine art purposes.
Both handmade and machine made papers use the same basic raw material ingredients, providing artists with archival quality sheets. But, unlike handmade papers where each sheet is unique, machine made papers result in sheets that are virtually the same. This provides a consistent basis for artistic techniques since each paper varies little from sheet to sheet.
