Cotton provides a softer surface and improved absorbency than cellulose blotters and represent the finest blotting papers available in the world.

In the reverse Blotting paper is also used to speed up drying time of printed sheets of paper that come off from a press damp, and also in conservation work where prints and documents are washed to remove dirt.
