Hey Chris,
I'm using a Reich Paper vellum that's available in several weights from the following:
John Zokowski
Butler Dearden Paper
412-247-9073
jzokowski at comcast.net
John knows a LOT about papers and is a terrific person with whom to do business. I've used the 17lb., 24lb. and 30 lb. and have come to use the 24 as my standard and the 30 for prints larger than 11x14.
Another of my personal favorite businesses to support is Freestyle in L.A. I personally tested several of their vellums and found they work great for pt/pd too. They'll know which vellum you're talking about if you mention it's the one "that Dan uses." ;^)
Happy printing and Happy Holidays to you and all the list members!
Dan

I purchased one really nice vellum paper that was THICK, not like Bienfang or whatnot that are in pads and very flimsy. I think it might have been Canson Opalux vellum but I don't know. I have been going through the list and there is mention of "Bee Vellum" by Jeffrey Mathias (now into 1999, the year of Prince). Has anyone tried this, and, if not, can you recommend a thick, sturdy vellum for alt? I just loved this one vellum I used back then, but I wasn't so great with labeling papers, which has come back to bite me in the butt.
