My question stems from handling genuine sheep/calfskin vellum, where there's a smooth 'flesh' side that's prized for writing, and the rough 'hair' side that is not favored.
When you encounter papers which have this quality - one side smooth, the other rough (such as Zerkall papers, or even Munken) - however subtle it is, how do you refer to it in terminology? Smooth/Feltmarked? Or something else?
In your print process, do you ignore it or make note of it for a particular reason? (On that note too, does the paper arrive in a predictable manner - say, rough side all facing up)
Looking forward to the comments here!
