paper with a pattern of parallel lines at equal distances, giving a ribbed effect.
The paper surface made by a roll covered with evenly spaced parallel lines. (The ribbed impressions are actually watermarks).
A rougher finish in which parallel lines are impressed into the paper. It gives the overall look of narrowly spaced horizontal lines with lighter vertical lines placed wide apart.
a thickly patterned grid of parallel lines
This term describes the finish imparted by a dandy roll, which contains wires that produce markings of lines across the grain of the paper.
Describes a watermarked series of parallel, vertical and horizontal impressed lines in a sheet.
Paper finish exhibiting a ribbed appearance produced by the use of side-by-side wires on the dandy roll. These papers should be printed with copy parallel to the laid lines to facilitate printing. Laid-finished papers are well-suited to the reproduction of line art, or when an old-fashioned effect is desired.
Simulating the surface of handmade paper.
A paper with a translucent pattern of lines running both parallel to and across the grain.
A parallel lined paper that has a handmade look.
Laid finish papers feature a subtle linear pattern called "laid lines." These lines are created by a dandy roll with wires running parallel to its axis.
A paper with patterns of parallel lined creating a handmade effect
A paper term used to describe the ribbed surface finish on bond or text paper on which grids of parallel lines simulate the surface of handmade paper. Laid lines are close together and run against the grain; chain lines are farther apart and run with the grain.
