TRACINGPAPER

Tracing paper

Tracing paper is paper made to have low opacity, allowing light to pass through. Originally developed for architects and design engineers to create drawings which could be copied precisely using the diazo copy process, it found many other uses; the description evolved to include transparent paper. The original use for drawing and tracing was largely superseded by technologies which do not require diazo copying or manual copying of drawings.
