The cost of paper is bound to be extremely low.
Otherwise, Matthew could not possibly sell such a large quantity of newspapers at the price of 6 copper coins each.
Just thinking about a piece of sheepskin paper the size of two palms that costs 1 silver coin.
The editor of the Arcane Herald had already begun to imagine the future where "paper" completely replaces sheepskin.
The two are simply not on the same level!
However, he quickly wondered why the Bay Territory did not directly sell paper.
Moreover, the manufacturing process of paper should not be difficult.
Was he not worried that others, be they spellcasters or lords, would "snatch" the paper away?
...
"There's absolutely no need to worry about that. The price of paper won't drop directly to 6 copper coins, but it will be 40 copper less than the 1 silver coin sheepskin."
"Moreover, they cannot make paper that is both cheap and of good quality."
