Review on πŸ“„ Grafix Vellum Inkjet Printable Paper, 50-Pack, 8-1/2-Inch by 11-Inch, 30lb Weight, Clear by Rhonda Quire

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent transparent parchment for printing.

I wanted thick, CLEAN parchment to print on. It is exceptionally clear, without the gray haze familiar to most parchments. And ordinary parchment has its uses, but this parchment prints well on a laser printer or a pigment inkjet printer like the Epson 2200 series (old). I print the scanned images I create and align the print on parchment over the painting element I am working on. (Works great with watercolor or acrylic paints.) This allows me to see the effect of different colors on the main watercolor work before I paint on the artwork. This parchment is translucent enough that the color of the original is clearly visible, which is something regular translucent parchment doesn't do. Note: This is much more important with watercolor, because with acrylic, if I don't like the result, I can simply ink and paint over this area again.
