Darryl,

I believe that link goes to Clearprint 1000H, which works fine and is very
similar to the Mars. If you print larger than 8x10, you might want to
consider Clearprint 1020 or 1025. Both of these are a bit thicker and easier
to deal with for larger prints. The thinner versions are still much easier
to work with than, say Bienfang Graphics 360, however.

  Jeff and Clay,

  Great, thanks

  .... I did a "Google" and also found this link:

http://www.draftingequipment.com/DEW/products/suppliespaper/paper/vellum.htm
  for a 24 X 20 yd roll for $18.78.

  Can't wait to try it. I've been using Staedtler vellum with good success,
but I'm a glutton for cheap paper.

  thanks

  Darryl

    OK, in haste I deleted the first several messages in this thread. I
understand the answer is/was Clearprint. What is this paper and where can I
find some to try?

    thanks

    I'm seconding Clay. I've only been using Clearprint for a short while
but I've seen, besides my own, a number of images by Clay and also Kerik
Kouklis. Clearprint gives an appearance of detail superior to anything else
I've seen in pt/pd. Looks really great when coated w/ Gamblin Cold Wax
Medium as a final step. If you decide to try the stuff - cheap, as Clay
points out - I or Clay can tell you where to get it in rolls (20 yards of
 24" wide for, I forget exactly, but just $35 or something like that).
Again, if you get some, inquire again; there are some highly advisable steps
to follow in processing. -jeff

    I would be interested in hearing from folks regarding a paper for Pt/PD
printing that will give SUPERIOR detail when printing. It can be an
unconventional paper-that is fine.

    Thanks,
