history

Originally, for example, the Japanese ladle sieves (suketa) for holding the paper pulp consisted of thin, closely spaced strips of bamboo that were held together by silk threads. This structure created the rib structure on the paper. In Europe a sieve was used for scooping, which is known as Vergésieb , in which transverse wire rods are connected by vertical binding wires. A rib structure is also created here. These coarse wire sieves were used to scoop up wet paper pulp from the vat or from the water until the 18th century. The wires drawn perpendicular to each other were visible on the paper and were visible as lighter, because thinner, stripes when looked through. The surface of the paper was accordingly uneven, which made itself uncomfortably noticeable when writing. In contrast to the vellum paper invented around 1750 , which did not show these disadvantages, paper made in the old way was called paper. Today, machine paper is produced almost exclusively as vellum paper, while ribbed paper is only made for decorative purposes with the help of the dandy roll .
