====First,trees get cut down. Second,trees get cut down. Third, pulping helps reduce the wood to slurry of loose fibers then put in water. The logs are sliced into chips then treated with chemicals in a digester. These dissolve the lignin, binding the wood fibers together. They then may grind the logs in water to produce pulp. The the pulp is bleached. Fourth, the pulp goes in the mixer where are added to improve the quality of the paper. The additives include white fillers such as china clay for water proofing and colored pigments. The mixer beats the fibers into a smooth pulp. Fifth, Liquid pulp is put from the flow box onto the mesh belt. Water drains through the holes in the mesh belt. The drainage is suctioned up The dandy roll presses together into a wet ribbon known as a web. Sixth, Belts move the web between the press rolls, which removes more water and compresses the paper. Seventh, the damp paper moves through the drier, where it passes between hot cylinders and felt- covered belts that absorb water.

__**The process of how paper was first made **__ ====First, take lots of old rags, inner part of a mulberry tree, and pieces of bamboo. Second, leave the pieces to soak in water. Third, pound the paper all the way through so you break up all the fibers. Fourth, pour the mixture through a coarsely wove cloth and then let the water drain through it, which leaves the fibers on the cloth. Fifth, spread the fibrous mixture out in a thin layer and make sure you smooth it well. Sixth, leave it to dry in the sun. When it’s dry remove the paper and write on it (with a brush and ink) ====
