Hi,
Rabbit glue in North American-speak is gelatin.
OH NO, CERTAINLY NOT! Just try some paper like a 300 grams Fabriano or whatever, just coat with some gelatine, try an inkjet print on a printer like an Epson 1290 with dye or pigment ink, and you will clearly see that it is a mess. Try the rabbit glue, do the same and be astonished. I did my homework, it toke me some time, did you ?? Anyway, succes, Cheers, Henk

You said:
Doesn't work well, to my taste. You need a light coating on the paper to hold sharp edges; uncoated paper (a) tends to make a softer print and (b) tends to have more internal texture that can print.
that is the reason i mentioned the rabbit glue coating; with the glue it acts like a real inkjet-paper (so one can use all the paper one collected over the years .....:-).
And for the transparencies .... to coat the clear material is cheaper and if the negative is not ok, just in hot water and you can use it again.
On the other hand if money is not the point why messing around .... :-)
cheers,
Henk
