Yes, Ingo, sometime ago I reported to the list my experience with
inkjetting on vellum paper. In my opinion vellum gives the best
paper negatives. (I much prefer these to film.) But since vellum
doesn't absorb ink as readily as paper does, you may get some smear.
This can be avoided by tinkering with the transfer curve (in
Photoshop). After a few test runs you will get nice paper negatives
with good densities and no need for waxing. Try it out! -- André
