I've seen several comments online that you can even use regular
printer paper to develop photosensitive boards. I would suggest trying
to find some printable vellum - Office Depot has a Strathmore brand
one that's for both inkjet and laser. I believe Staples has stopped
carrying it and only has their own brand safe for inkjet (which would
probably work nicely with a pigment printer). Vellum is like a 'fancy'
tracing paper that's strong enough to be used on its own.
