[alt-photo] Re: thick vellum for pt/pd

[Denny]

Clearprint isn't really clear, but there's another translucent vellum,
transvel, available directly from butlerdearden.com.   Transvel isn't  as
easy to work with, it isn't dimensionally stable at all, and needs to be
firmly attached before coating to keep it from curling up, but it has a very
interesting depth to the image, like you're looking into or through the
paper.

Thanks, Denny. I forgot to say, it is clear/see-through. But I think this is
true of all vellums, though vellum is sometimes used to describe a surface
texture and is not a see-through paper which gets confusing when
mail-ordering.
