This glossary by B. H. Bentzman is included here with the author’s kind permission.

I have attempted to collect words concerning paper that might be of use to fountain pen users; and, in an attempt to emulate other scholars, I have as often as not plagiarized from other glossaries. This is a living glossary and I will consider any new inclusions, or for that matter deletions.


T
tooth This is the slightly rough texture on the surface of paper that provides a degree of friction. It is desirable when one is working with charcoal or pastel. Fountain pen users are recommended to avoid papers with tooth.

The information in this glossary is as accurate as possible, but you should not take it as absolutely authoritative.
