Review on πŸ“„ Translucent Vellum Paper: Dowsabel 68LBS 8.5 x 11 - 50 Sheets by Carrie Spencer

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Keep an eye on your printer

I make postcards for friends and family and wanted to add an insert to protect my cards in transit. I love the transparency of parchment and wanted to use it for my insert. This product states that it can be used in both inkjet and laser printers. The problem is with the Ecotank printer itself. There is no setting for parchment paper. So when it's fed in to print, it doesn't recognize the parchment since it's thinner than printer paper, and spits it out. The workaround I've used is to use double sided tape in each corner and tape it to a regular piece of printer paper. At this point it will loop through and print normally. So be careful with your printer and try this workaround if it spits it out like mine did. The print quality on parchment is quite sharp. Other than the issue with my printer, this parchment paper is great.

  • ✦68LBS=100GSM✦High quality, durable parchment you can trust. With years of papermaking experience, Dowsabel parchments are professionally made with attention to detail to ensure they are not easily pierced or curled.
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
