Best Answer

Paper has proven to have long-lasting qualities that other printing materials. Before paper was produced, egyptians used a paper-type papayrus but later discovered that it degrades quickly over time. The lack of sodium nitrate and mesolorite compounds in papayrus cause the ink to fade and the material begins to develop cracks. Before today's paper was utilized, cloth, canvas, leaves, animal hydes and petrified mammoth bone were used.

Paper was first invented by Matias Gutierez III from Madrid Spain in 1089 a.d. He was cutting down a birch tree when the bark peeled off and resembled a scroll. He then invented the world's first steam press and became the first mass-producer of what we know today as paper.
