perfect surface impression can be obtained on this paper than upon any other. By examining impressions of a cut upon different kinds of paper with a magnifying glass, it will be plainly seen that the lines are thinner and sharper on the enameled paper than upon any other. The reason for this is that the instant the cut comes into contact with the paper, all the surplus varnish or oil in the ink goes through the enamel, instead of remaining on the surface and being spread by the pressure of the cut, as it will on a hard, sized paper.
