Digital BW, The Print

David, I am not sure that advice is still relevant. I have successfully
profiled to a thin paper within the Epson driver on a Epson 7800. You will
see tracing paper as a paper option. it delivers very little ink.

with pigment inks
 
  
If you are using a regular inkjet, either desktop or large format, you need
to attach your thin paper to some thicker carrier paper to allow it to
register and then to pass through the printer. You will need to experiment
using tapes and temporary mounting sprays to see what works best with your
particular combination of printing paper and carrier. For this kind of
printing you will also need to use a RIP as the printer driver will deliver
more ink than the paper can hold. When I have printed on these kinds of
paper I have used the MIS Eboni 6 inks but the Cone Carbon ones should also
work. Good luck, I have made some good images this way but also made a mess
on many occasions.
