The mould is then raised to drain excess water. The wet pulp is transfered onto a felt sheet. Any inclusions are added at this point. The sheets are hung to dry naturally without dryers. Any impurities are removed with a sharp instrument.
Some paper is starched to improve stability.
The paper is placed between metallic plates and passed through a calendering machine to smooth and gloss the surface. Cut to size or converted into envelopes and other products.
