摘要

本試驗研製之藍染金銀泥寫經紙，係以靛藍將纖維先行內添染色，再手工抄製而成，有別於傳統之成紙浸紙藍染法，此不僅可省卻繁複之多次浸染、洗滌發色工序，且可製得逐張色澤始末均－之高品質寫經紙。試驗研究之變因有漿料PH、添加順序、固色劑用量、媒染劑種類、低亞硫酸鈉（還原劑）、氫氧化鈉之用量、及接觸時間等。再選擇合適條件試製商業尺寸之藍染金銀泥寫經紙，此寫經紙不僅較市售一般寫經紙顏色深而沉穩，經UV照射後亦表現顏色的高度穩定性，遠非以一般造紙常用染料染色之對照組及市售寫經紙所可比擬。

This study examines the preparation of handmade sutra paper which was dyed with a colorant, indigo, for the purpose of penning Buddhism scriptures using gold or silver pastes. The methodology pursued was to dye the fibers internally first, then form sheets with the dyed fibers. This approach differs from the traditional method of dip dyeing the sheets, hence it not only reduced the tedium of the repeated dipping, washing, and color development procedure, but also provided high quality sutra paper sheets with consistent tone from beginning to end. Parameters of the study included pH of the fiber stock, sequence of the dyeing process, dosage of the fixing agent, addition of various mordants, dosages of sodium hydrosulfite (a reducing agent) and sodium hydroxide, and duration of contact with the dye solution. The most appropriate conditions were then selected and commercial-sized indigo-dyed sutra paper was formed by hand. The sutra paper thus prepared not only has a deeper and more elegant tone, but also exhibits much greater color stability after irradiation with UV light, far in excess of both the control group dyed with commonly used paper dyes and commercial sutra paper.
