Embossed Paper - paper on which a raised and/or depressed design has been produced by pressure, generally between an engraved or otherwise patterned steel roll or plate and a paper or cotton back roll of 'bowl'.

Emulsification - Dispersion of water into the ink during printing. An excess of this may cause printing difficulties.

Esparto - a coarse grass from Southern Spain and Northern Africa, employed principally by English and Scottish papermakers. Papers made from Esparto have a good writing and printing surface, are opaque and of good bulking properties. They are largely used for lithographic printing, for book production and as body papers for coating.
