Product

Transparent Paper is almost completely transparent, and the image or background below can be seen. Translucent Paper is semi-transparent paper. This paper allows light to pass through, but the details cannot be seen clearly, which is a state between transparency and opacity. Tracing Paper is a special paper with high transparency, which is used for drawing or copying graphics. It is also a common form of translucent paper.

Materials

Transparent paper usually contains a high proportion of cellulose or is coated with special polymers, or is a plastic substrate. It may not be "real paper", but made of film-like materials (such as BOPP, PET), and looks similar to paper.

Translucent Paper: Wood pulp paper is refined, calendered, and pores are removed to make it have a certain degree of light transmittance. It is often compacted by the "super calendering" process, or fillers are added to control transparency.

Tracing Paper: High-quality wood pulp or cotton pulp, degummed, bleached, and calendered; high strength, uniform thickness, designed for fine line drawing.
