Choose a relatively thin vellum plotter paper. Since vellum often is thicker than other used media to the printer it may roll through your printer with less ease yet when it comes out the other side - remove it with care to insure you don't touch the ink on the vellum - and a quick tip to manage a faster drying is to use a blow-dryer on the 36”x100' (35 lb) 2” Core Vellum Rolls so that the ink dries faster. Keep the hairdryer about half a foot away from the vellum, to prevent the ink from blowing around.

  • "Economy Printing."

  • You may want to print most of your project using a printer, but if it is too light, go over it by hand, using a permanent ink pen. It is amazing how the look comes out very good when the fine details are finished by hand with the pens.
