Dutch term or phrase: Kartonpapier
"Voor de afdruk hebben wij handgeschept kartonpapier gebruikt, het beste materiaal dat wij voor deze kunstwerken konden vinden."

Dit komt voor in een beschrijving van Audubon reprodukties. Het is duidelijk dat het hier niet om karton gaat. Het is heel fijn, wit, gewatermerkt papier.

If it is "very fine white paper with a watermark"


Explanation:
you could not use "card" or "cardboard" as a translation.

Why not just use "hand made paper".

They used to make it on a machine called a "Hollander Beater". The mind boggles! See ref:
