In modern factories, paper is produced at high speeds using massive machinery like the Fourdrinier machine.
: Dip a screened frame (mould) into a tub of pulp slurry. Swish it to ensure an even coating and lift it to let the water drain.
: The pulp is washed and often bleached to achieve the desired whiteness.
: As water drains through the mesh, the remaining fibers form a sheet. This sheet is pressed to remove more water and then passed over heated rollers to dry completely.
: The refined pulp is mixed with water to create a thin slurry, which is then spread across a moving mesh screen via a headbox.
