Description
Thin, transparent or translucent sheets manufactured for tracing original drawings. Tracing paper was historically made highly processed linen and cotton fibers or chemical wood pulps with added drying oils and/or natural resins. More recently, tracing paper has been made from acetate, polyester or other types of plastic. It is sold in rolls or pads. The smooth paper accepts ink well but also is easily stained from extraneous materials. Tracing papers have also been used as supports and linings. Some tracing papers are sold as vegetable parchment, imitation parchment, and vellum paper.
Synonyms and Related Terms
