Recipe Details

Evidence

"The filter paper used was from FILTER-LAB Filtros Anoia S.A., with 60 g/m2 grammage, 0,140 mm thickness and 0,444 g/cm3, made with a depth filter. This paper was chosen because it has no additives such as fluorescent brightening/whitening agents, causing no interference with the components of our paint."

Remarks

The study notes that historical black writing inks often lead to the loss of the support, particularly cellulose-based ones, due to degradation (p. 1).
