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.
