Just wondering (as I'm new to the list and have not read all the archives) why
don't y'all use the semi transparent 'paper' that was used for technical drawings
(in the pre CAD aera)? Don't know the english word, translatred from dutch it would
be something like "chalk paper". It comes in a vary of qualities, from plain paper
to PE- or PP-coated (the backside that is). The surface seems to have a very fine
"dust like layer" on it that absorbs the ink quickly, so no drying problems.
