Ask an Expert - Forum > Glitter in new hot press lanaquarelle 300 lb rolled paper

An artist asked me for advice on qualities of rolled 300 lb. hot pressed lanaquarelle paper she is using. She noted a distinct sparkle that could almost be described as a glitter effect in certain lights. This paper is described as gelatin sized. What could be causing the sparkle ? Undissolved gelatin? Possible additives to harden the gelatin? The surface is softer than other 300 lb. hot pressed she has worked on that do not have the sparkle. I could not offer a good explanation.
