Question Printing on Vellum

Where do you get or how do you print on vellum?

I have seen it in many pages here and would like to try that on my next book.

Thank you!!

I printed on vellum with my inkjet printer. I'm pretty sure I changed the paper type to transparency when I did it.

Yes, I also usually set the print preferences to something other than "Best" quality -- normal or draft so the inkjet lays down less ink on the paper and there's less chance of smudging.

yes, transparency works great. And use draft mode.

I'll have to try that tip about the transparency setting next time, I had some vellum paper I used this week with a pearlized finish that smeared really badly.

I did notice when I was in AC Moore that they carry a vellum for inkjet printers, but unfortunately it was out of stock so I wasn't able to try it.

I usually buy the big packs of 8.5" x 11" vellum paper from Joanne. Using a fast print setting will help to eliminate smudging although I've never really had a problem with it. The only problem I've ever run into is having my paper jam and not feed through correctly. I think it might have just been a problem with the particular printer I was using. I like the look of vellum in my books, so I use it quite often for my journaling.
