In Europe, paper was originally made on moulds, which are wooden frames with a tight web of wires supported by wooden struts. A &#;vatman&#; would dunk the moulds in a vat filled with pulp and lift them up again, slightly agitating the pulp collecting on the mould while doing so to form an even sheet. He then would pass the mould on to the so-called coucher, who would press the now-formed paper sheet onto a piece of felt.
Asian paper is made using a flexible mat of bamboo splints sewn together and positioned on a wooden frame for support, which is also dunked in a vat. The mould is submerged several times and shaken in a rigorous back and forth movement in between dunks. The paper sheets are then pressed on top of each other by the vatman, who removes the bamboo mat from the frame and rolls it over a surface to release the paper from the mat.
In both traditions, the laid structure in the paper forms because the fibers from the pulp that collect on the mould sink into the small spaces between the wire or bamboo, leaving fewer fibers on the protruding parts of the mould. This makes the paper a bit thinner in these elevated areas. Sometimes the pattern is more pronounced, but other times you need to know what to look for: a grid of strong vertical lines, called chain lines, divided by more delicate and plentiful horizontal lines, called laid lines. We call this kind of paper laid. When we change the angle of light and let the light shine through the paper, we create transmitted light&#;that&#;s when the chain and laid lines become clearly visible.
In 18th-century Europe, the idea of covering the mould with a tight metal mesh, which keeps the pulp from sinking between the wires, resulted in the invention of a paper with a smooth surface, free of chain or laid lines. Because of its even structure, this paper is called wove paper.
Of course, not all papers exhibiting a laid structure are handmade. Industrial paper making began in the late 18th century, and with the invention of the cylinder mould machine&#;a cylinder covered with a mould that picks up pulp in a continuous movement&#;it became possible to produce laid papers on a larger scale. These machines are still used today to produce high-quality papers.
