Alpha cellulose paper is made from wood pulp. Alpha Cellulose is the building blocks of wood pulp; it is made up of multiple sugar molecules bonded together to form a chain. During the paper manufacturing process this chain is broken down, refined to remove undesirable elements (such as lignin) and then reformed to give strength to the finished sheet of paper. To create different finishes within the paper surface, occasionally Alpha Cellulose fibres are combined with other materials, such as cotton linters.
There are many different types of alpha cellulose paper available for creating inkjet fine art and photo prints. Click here to see the range of alpha cellulose papers available from Innova Art
