How To Make Paper

Paper making can be tricky or quite simple depending on the materials you have.
 To make paper, fibres are separated from the papyrus plant into strips and these strips are soaked in water to soften them. This is usually done in Refiners.
 To make the sheets, the fibre strips are then drained on a wire mesh surface and now the solid fibre remaining is commonly known as "web". After you make the web, there is then the pressing process which includes two rollers with pressure between them. The web is put through the rollers and this removes another 20% of moisture on top of the water removed during the draining process.
 The drying process then takes place. 47% of the of the web has dry content now and the remaining moisture is removed by machines that pump out steam at around 120 degrees celsius. After this is done, about 95% of the web is solidified.
When you coat the paper it needs to be smooth so the ink appear on the page so this means that the paper needs three ingredients - Minerals, Binder and Thickeners.
 When paper is made, the sheets are kept in large ware houses with a certain temperature to regulate the paper.
 When paper is being made at home the method is quite the same except instead of the machines they are creative and make do with what they have, eg. for pressing it together some people use teo large pieces of wood or laminate depending on what they have.
And here's a slightly different way of making paper:
