Why are fine papers watermarked?
The watermark on Southworth paper is a sign of quality. It assures the user that the paper is a fine paper. The watermark generally will identify the manufacturer, the brand name and the amount of cotton fiber, if any, in the sheet. Through the use of a special roller called a “dandy roll”, the watermark is impressed inside the paper early in the manufacturing process. All of Southworth Companys cotton fiber papers are watermarked signifying their fine quality and distinction.
