Hi Peter,
It is quite translucent.
I'm not sure --did it say it accepted ink jet well? The feel is quite tough, sturdy, almost plasticy. Substantial is what I would say.
In the archives I've been reading lots on vellum so it'll be timely for me to test it again with some processes like pt/pd and cyano and argyro.
Although one of my students actually printed and perfectly registered tricolor gum on vellum :)

I have a sample of it to try again as I am suspicious of papers changing over time (I used it back in 2003-5) but here is the URL. Anyone try it lately? BTW Freestyle is packaging up lots of 11x15 size papers in student-friendly prices and amounts.
