Abstract
The method of manual papermaking has changed very little over time . The main changes that have been introduced concern the advancements in production technology. Today, handmade paper is made in small quantities, for special purposes. Almost all paper is manufactured, using industrial machinery. The presentation deals with the antique technique of papermaking, the ingredients and the making of watermarks, and the purpose of papermaking in restoration, in which it is used in the processes of integration and reconstruction of old paper. The authors also demonstrate the way in which they make it in their laboratory, at the University.
