By the tenth century, paper production was widespread enough to spawn a printing industry in China. Chinese papermakers pulped the bark of the mulberry tree, a process which could not readily be duplicated elsewhere. In the fourteenth century, Europeans developed mills that used water power to pulp rags. The inexpensive paper produced by these mills was the basis of the printing revolution of the fifteenth century.
