Paper,
Paper is distinct from papyrus, parchment or rice paper. According to Dard Hunter in Papermaking: history and technique of an Ancient Craft,"to be classes as true paper the thin sheets must be made from fibre that has been macerated until eac individual filament is a separate unit, the fibres are the intermixed with water and by the use of a sieve like screen are lifted from the water in the form of a thin stratum, the water draining through the small opening of the screen and leaving a sheet of matted fibre upon the screen's surface. This thin layer of intertwined fibre is paper.
