Modern paper - making machines are based on the principles of the Fourdrinier Machine, which uses a moving woven mesh to create a continuous paper web by filtering out the fibres held in a paper stock and producing a continuously moving wet mat of fibre . This is dried in the machine to produce a strong paper web . </P> <P> The basic process is an industrialised version of the historical process of hand paper - making, which could not satisfy the demands of developing modern society for large quantities of a printing and writing substrate . The first modern paper machine was invented in Britain by Henry and Sealy Fourdrinier, and patented in 1806 . </P>
