Making Paper

I have been looking into paper making, as although Fedrigoni are a paper-making company I am thinking that I can strip down the process of paper making and the colouring process of paper making, take elements from this and then re-apply this to the paper. For example, capture the dying process via scanning, photography, illustration etc then printing the imagery back onto the paper. This paper can then be printed onto via traditional printing methods such as letterpress.
