I've never written on hemp paper, I wonder what the differences are? Do different binders work better or worse with hemp? Is the bleaching process more or less intense? I'm coming at this more just curious about art papers that usually have high cotton content and how hemp would change them

Hemp is a material famous for its versatility in many countries. Industries use it to produce clothes, paper, and textiles. Hemp contains a higher percentage of cellulose, making it suitable for paper production. Also, extracting its fiber requires fewer chemicals than traditional paper.

Even though hemp is a more suitable material for paper production, today, over 90% of the world's paper comes from wood. This still doesn't nullify the uses of hemp paper in some sectors. Below are more example uses: (see link)

The article really doesn't say anything about art papers or how hemp compares to cotton(rag) papers. It sounds nice, I'll try to buy some. But fine art papers and specialty papers being what they are, efficiency and price are much smaller concerns.
