How To Make An Artificial "Deckle Edge"
using the
Dual Edge Ripper
Artists love the look of a deckle edge. Hand made papers can be made with deckled edges on all four sides, but mouldmade papers can only be made with two true deckle edges (see definition below). Although many fine art inkjet papers are mouldmade (the closest machine process to hand made), the final inkjet receptive coating process eliminates the manufacturer's ability to retain or offer a true deckled edge on his finished product.
Paper Glossary: "Deckle Edge": The feathery edge which is the result of the natural run-off of wet pulp when making handmade and mouldmade paper, or the result of sheets being torn when wet. The edge is simulated in machine made papers by cutting them with a stream of water when still wet.
