Present methods involve infilling with a sympathetic paper, a repair tissue or pulp, all of which usually have to be toned to match the surrounding area.

Predetermined amounts of the dry dyed pulp can then be mixed to produce the desired colour. 9 pages, colour illustrations, tables Marbling Paper - BJ SansonAccount of the history and techniques of marbling paper first published in The Paper-Maker and British Paper Trade Journal, 1924. 2 pages History of Paper Test Instrumentation Part 7: Tactile Property Testers - Daven ChamberlainThe continuation of this comprehensive series, this time detailing testers designed to test tactile properties.
