GRID PAPER

Made to have low opacity, allowing light to pass through. Originally developed for architects and design engineers to create drawings which could be copied precisely using the diazo copy process it found many other uses; the description evolved to include transparent paper. The original use for drawing and tracing was largely superseded by technologies which do not require diazo copying or manual copying (by tracing) of drawings. Taking this material out of its comfort zone and using it for another purpose was interesting.
