Re: [Digital BW] Printing on Vellum

2005-03-10 by john dean

Yes, I have had very good results prining on rag vellum called Glamma Natural  and 
distributed by Mac Papers. Interestingly it worked great with my Lyson quad inksets and a 
1280 with standard color inks but the Epson Archival CF inkset on the 10K printer 
smeared all over the place and didn't work at all. However, this week I was very pleased to 
find out that the Ultrachrome inkset works like a charm and gives very nice photo 
reproduction with excellent color saturation. I'm sure there are many good vellums out 
there that will work also. It seems much more difficult to me to find one that has a nice 
photo reproduction but that is very thin and very transparent though. That I'll have to 
research more fully. I'm also wondering if some very clear acetate works well. Anyone 
know?
