India paper - India paper (English spelling)

Japanese: インディアペーパー - いんでぃあぺーぱー（英語表記）India paper

A type of Western paper. Tissue paper for printing. It is used for books that require small, dense printing in order to fit large volumes of text into booklets that are easy to carry, such as the Bible, prayer books, dictionaries, and the Complete Code. It is thin and light, with a basis weight and thickness of 20-30g/ ^m2 and 0.04-0.05mm, both of which are half that of regular printing paper, while also being very opaque. It is also required to have a uniform texture and absorb ink well. Originally, it referred to a thin, high-quality paper that was imported from China to the UK and used for test printing of prints, but Oxford University Press came to imitate it and began producing it from raw materials such as hemp, and in 1875 a Bible printed using this was published. Currently, it is made from bleached wood chemical pulp as the main raw material, mixed with fillers.

洋紙の一種．印刷用薄葉紙．聖書，祈祷書，辞書，六法全書など，大量のテキストを携帯に便利な規模の冊子に収録するために，文字を小さく稠密に印刷することが必要な図書に用いられる．秤量，厚さとも通常の印刷紙の2分の1程度の20～30g/m²および0.04～0.05mmと薄くて軽く，かつ強く不透明である．また，地合が均一で，インキの吸収のよいことが要求される．元来は，中国から英国に輸入され版画の試し刷りに使用された薄手の上質紙を指したが，オックスフォード大学出版局がそれを模して麻などを原料として製造するに至り，それを使用して印刷された聖書が1875年に刊行された．現在は木材晒化学パルプを主原料に，填料を配合して抄造する．
