Cartridge paper is a high quality type of heavy paper used for illustration, drawing, etc. It was originally used for making cartridges of the weaponry kind, hence the name.
Originally a cartridge was a small paper package, e.g. in an old book about making printer's type: After all the type has been cast: "The Boy will paper up each sort in a cartridge by itself". This is an obsolete usage.
