Hi Randi, My process:
15 to 20 grs crystals in 100 ml tapwater; wait 15 min -like preparing gelatine-; add another 100 ml water; heat until 60 to 65 degree Celsius; down to about 40 degree Celsius (to avoid blistering); now i cover a tray with hot water with a piece of glas, put the paper on it and coat with a foam brush, let it dry and coat a second time.
(keep the glue at t40 degrees the whole time you work with it, it is not good to let it down and heat again)
succes, Henk

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
