Felt finish papers remind us of the papers of the old world with a truly elegant look and feel. Genuine felt finishes are applied to paper by means of marking felt on the paper machine while the paper is still very wet. The felt imparts a distinctive texture by gently rearranging the fibers and creating a soft resilient surface suitable for printing and specialty print processes such as embossing, foil stamping and letterpress printing. Some felt finishes are embossed off machine.
