Running on alkaline

Sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth century paper is unmistakable; it reeks of permanence. Its color, opacity and quality speak of strength and durability Handmade, you say? Cotton and linen fibers? True enough. But the longevity in these ancient sheets (noticeably lacking in much nineteenth and twentieth century paper) is the result of something more; stable chemistry due to alkaline pH. This is the same property that assures your customers hundreds of years of permanence from the alkaline wood pulp papers you print on, convert with or copy to.
