Design Blueprint: Handmade Sheet Drying
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: Design blueprint derived from the source paper (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.24121363): This paper addresses a practical question in sheet thickness: handmade paper leaves the press still holding most of its weight in water. Using a self-contained computation from stated assumptions, the study evaluates the options across the range a small operation ordinarily meets and identifies the point at which the balance of cost, quality and material use changes. The headline findings are that hours 2mm still air is 15.6; hours 2mm fan 1ms is 5.9; hours 4mm still air is 31.2; hours 2mm rh80 is 18; hours 2mm rh40 is 6. These figures come from a simulation study: the work is SIMULATED, NOT M Status: DESIGN BLUEPRINT — SIMULATED, NOT MEASURED — NOT BUILT. All numbers are simulated values from the source paper's computation, deposited with this blueprint as compute.py and results.json. AI-use disclosure: Dave, an AI research system, assisted with the computation and drafting under the author's direction; author of record William Alexander Aldred.
