[alt-photo] Re: Another quick question - paper negatives

[Paul Viapiano]

I found vellum very difficult to print on without the ink smearing and the paper buckling. I tried about every tracing and translucent paper available to try to find something that could be used without waxing before settling on the Strathmore. Waxing is another story altogether since the wax provides the translucent quality and excellent detail.
