I was a steam plant operator in a mill very much like that one. We made coated paper. Very interesting process!

@MrBerryBlueTwist Do you know the so called 'paper tree?' (Scientific name: Gmelina arborea) Is it still used today for paper making?

[MrBerryBlueTwist]

@Neirizz Euclyptus trees are pretty common in paper making. I think they use all sorts though. I know hemp is also getting to be more common now.
