The paper English powder formerly known as Art Paper, it is an exotic name. This kind of paper was first developed by the British in the middle of nineteenth Century. The thin white clay mixed into paint evenly spread on the surface of the base paper (coated on one or both sides), then made advanced printing paper. Because the process is like women to like coating faces, so they called the pink paper. In fact, Art Paper in 30s in China has translated art paper (literal translation). Because this kind of paper was printed in Europe when it was used for printing exquisite paintings, the plates made of etching were used in the drying process. Therefore, the art paper used for copperplate printing is called copperplate (printing) paper according to the practice of naming for use. In the mainland of China, the printing and paper industry colleagues called Art Paper "art paper" instead of "powder paper".
