I have been trying, unsucessfully so far, to print on a transluscent vellum with my 2200. So far, I have only tried a box of paper I picked up at Office Depot. It said inkjet vellum but the ink does not dry fast enough to avoid smearing inside the printer. Has anyone had any success doing this? If so, what paper were you using? I am interested in the standard cut sheet sizes, not roll paper. Thanks for your help, Randy Becker

Which BTW is almost certainly intended as a text not photo medium. Steve Karafyllakis

Randy- I would think that you need to be using a RIP whereby you can limit your ink that is put out of the nozzles... _____

I wanted to print on the various beautiful translucent vellums sold by a local fine paper shop...but they advised me that since it's a plastic base it tends not to hold the pigment. I think it'd be interesting to print one pass on vellum and another, possibly in color, on a very bright white such as Enhanced Matte. The 2200 does an incredibly good job of registration, so that's not an issue. The 2200 can print on just about any paper, so I'm sure the fine true paper vellums (like those used to cover plates in ancient books, and that are obviously archival fwiw) will work well, but I've not found any locally. Wouldn't it be boring if we could only print on stuff like OEM? Major Epson advantage. --- In DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint@yahoogroups.com, DigitalLipothymy@a... wrote: > > In a message dated 1/14/2005 12:52:52 A.M.
