Frequently asked questions-Watermarked Paper



Or, why it is not possible for business cards to have a watermark - Another Description

A watermark is a design "embedded" in a sheet of paper and may be found on fine paper
stock available at most stationers, on paper stock used to make currency and banknotes,
and, on certain postage stamps. A watermark can depict almost any design

Paper is made by allowing a thin layer of paper pulp to dry over a wire mesh. Early watermarks
on hand-made paper were made by either raising the wire mesh in the area of the desired design
or more often by attaching an additional thin wire mesh shaped in the design of the watermark.
This effectively made the paper in the area of the watermark thinner than the surrounding paper
and standout when held to a bright light since it transmits light more readily. Watermarks on
hand-made paper usually stand out quite well when held to strong light.
