laid paper
A paper which shows thick and thin lines at right
angles to each other, and produced by the weave of
the DANDY ROLL in
machine-made paper, or, in the manufacture of
handmade paper, by the MOLD (1) having thin
wires placed very close together and fastened to
thicker wires running at right angles at intervals
of about 1 inch. The thin wires are the LAID LINES , or "wire
lines," "wire marks," while the thicker wires are
theCHAIN LINES ,
or "chain marks," "wide lines." Laid paper,
whether hand- or machine-made, has no advantage
over WOVE PAPER
except perhaps appearance. (58 , 156 , 182 )
