Once macerated into paper pulp, the substance can be used to create individual sheets of paper or, when macerated to a finer grade, can retain high levels of pigmentation and be used in more contemporary applications. In preparation to creating an image, fibers are macerated in a specialized beater to specific lengths for their specific type of application.

It is a most versatile material and is a key element in printmaking, but many do not realize its application in creating prints completely within the papermaking process.
