3. Blot the paper sheets on a woolen or gada cloth.
4. Draw out water from the sheets using a hydraulic press, detach them from the cloth, and dry them in sunlight.
5. Pass the dried sheets through heavy rollers and calendaring between metal sheets for polishing.
6. Cut the finished sheets into the required size and shape for marketing.
