Hi Henk,

At 02:33 PM 12/5/07 +0100, you wrote:
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 .....:-).

I've purchased the rabbit skin glue (in dry form) to make papers receptive to inkjet printing.

On the package it says 3 tablespoons glue crystals to one quart water (about 45 ml glue crystals to a litre of water), but this is for sizing fabric to paint on; is that a good recipe for coating papers for inkjet? Also, do you coat by dunking paper in a tray, or would you brush the glue onto the paper?

Thanks for your advise, past and future.

Take care,
Randi

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
