What is Water Writing Paper
Share
1. Basic Definition
Water writing cloth is a writing medium made of fiber fabric. Clean water is used instead of traditional ink for brush writing. The ink marks appear instantly and the cloth returns to its original state after the water evaporates. It can be reused indefinitely.
2. Color Rendering Principle
- Optical effect : When water wets the cloth, it changes the refractive index of local fibers, forming dark handwriting, and after drying, the light refraction returns to its original state;
- Coating technology : The surface is coated with high-molecular color-developing materials, which react with water to simulate the changes in ink color levels, retaining the dry and moist charm of brush writing.
3. Material and structure
- Base material : high-density fiber cloth (such as polyester blend) + imitation rice paper coating to enhance tear resistance and durability;
- Coating ingredients : Contains glue powder, water-resistant film, etc. to ensure clear color and no penetration.
IV. Application Scenarios
- Calligraphy beginners can copy calligraphy daily to reduce the cost of paper and ink;
- Professional calligraphy creation trial, simulating the brush strokes and ink effects on rice paper;
- Children's safe painting and calligraphy tools to prevent ink from contaminating clothing and the environment.
5. Performance advantages and limitations
| Advantages | limitation |
| Unlimited reuse, strong durability | The initial color contrast is slightly lower than that of real ink writing |
| Water absorption and smudging properties similar to those of rice paper | The coating may wear off after high-frequency use |
| Zero consumables, no ink cleaning and maintenance required | The coating may wear off after high-frequency use |
Through material innovation and color rendering technology improvement, Water Writing Paper empowers traditional calligraphy practice in terms of environmental protection and practicality, and becomes an efficient tool for contemporary calligraphy and painting enthusiasts.
