Tshirt makers, when they print and expose their photosensitive
screens, use "vellum" as you describe, not transparencies. Either with
laser printers, or with inkjet printers.
Here is a good board on screenprinting and such where you may find
more info on these "vellums". I put that in quotes because real vellum
was something like the inside layer of animal hide, modern vellum is
cotton or polyester.
http://boards.screenprinters.net/What looks the clearest is not always the best. I'm in EET training
right now and have to make blueprints. I bought some fancy very clear
vellum for drafting (pencil) and it -looks- like it would work better
than the stock 100% cotton vellum they wanted us to buy. Their vellum
is whiter and appears more opaque than what I bought. But the pencil
lines are a lot darker on their vellum, so their vellum works better
for blueprints.
