Re: [BKARTS] Paper grain

[Lavinia Adler <laviniaa@xxxxxxxx>]

If you've got a piece of the questionable paper to spare, the quickest
way to tell its grain is to simply tear a piece in each direction and see
which gives you the straighter edge. That's the way the grain runs. A six
inch square piece is usually long enough to make it evident.
