"the papers were imported from Italy"
Remarks
While the ink was a domestic product of Egypt, the paper substrate remained an import from Italy during the Press's primary period of historical significance (p. 16). Later, the Press encountered competition from the private sector because the quality of the Bûlâq Press paper and printing was perceived as no longer competitive or attractive to readers (p. 16).
