Best Answer

Paper has a rough and a smooth side because before paper is really paper, it is a fluid paste. This paste is spread in a thin layer across a very very fine wire screen which allows it to dry on both sides evenly. The top of the liquid paper forms a perfectly flat, smooth surface, as any resting liquid does. The bottom side is slightly roughed by the texture of the wire mesh.
