Description

A thin, strong, translucent writing paper. Onionskin paper is made from bleached, and hydrated chemical pulp and/or cotton fibers. It is sized with rosin, starch, or glue then supercalendered to produce a glazed or cockle finish. It takes ink well and erases easily. Onionskin paper is used for low bulk operations, such as airmail correspondence. It used to be commonly used for making multiple typewritten duplicates with carbon copy paper.
