Re: [Digital BW] Somerset Velvet too thick

2002-06-21 by Jason DeFontes

You need to use the old backing board trick. Cut a piece of foamcore or 
cardboard the same size as your paper and stick it in the paper tray 
behind the paper when you print. Make sure your board is thick enough 
that it doesn't get sucked into the printers paper feed, you may need to 
  glue two pieces together. There's a better description here:
