Vol.V Paste Papers

This manual is not exactly intended to be for producing normal paste papers, there are many people making great paste papers, whose work can be seen on the web.

This manual, if I can call it that, was put together in order to help someone set up a small production facility making what I call "Paste Printed" papers.

This is an example of the sort of thing that can be done using this process.

If you wanted to include the printed designs shown on the left, you would need a decorative block of some kind.

Blocks of any design can be made quite cheaply in magnesium alloy, but I got my decorative blocks from an Oxfam shop, they were originally used in India by ladies who used them to decorate cloth, they cost me £5.00 each.

Even if you decide for some reason not to bother with the decorative blocks, you may still find some original ideas.

This picture may give you some idea of how I applied bands of colour, there are a lot of tips about using allum as a mordant, though I now doubt it is necessary to use alum in this process.

So this is an ideas manual, I hope you find it useful.

I received my equipment. Wow, the quality is astounding I don't know where in the states I could get tools made this well. The large laying press and finishing press are massive and the sewing frame is to die for. I guess old world craftmanship still lives. I am glad I bought from you instead of buying in America just to get it fast. To have the equipment (made and) delivered within 30 days was not too long to wait. Frank

I received the type holder yesterday, it actually arrived quicker than I thought it would.

Thank you for all your help and for the great customer service, really appreciate it. Bruno

The DVD's arrived last week and I have been glued to the tv screen. I have been busy sharpening my knives the way the DVD teaches, and it works! Great to have really sharp knives. Mac

Just a thank you for your excellent tutorial on clasp making -wonderful. Thanks so much. You're really generous to share your knowledge and skill with us youngsters. Tony

I had to write and thank you for your help during the last month, you guided me to a teacher near me and now I am actualy enroled on a 1 year part time bookbinding course. Thank you so much for your efforts. Ratchel

The equipment arrived safe and sound, it looks wonderful I can't wait to try it. Thank you for being so helpful. Louise

The article on calf marbling was awesome, when you get around to publishing your book, put me down for a copy. Jake

I just wanted to say thank you for being so patient with me over my choice of bookbinding press, so nice not to be subjected to the hard sell. Mary
