You bet the color of the mounting board (or whatever is behind the
print) impacts the color. This lends great flexibility to the use of
the paper. -jb

Are there any special consideration for mounting and/or presenting
prints on Clearprint and/or Mars Vellum? And does the color of the
mounting board impact heavily the tone of the print?

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/vellu
m.htm>
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

Darryl: Several sources out there, I believe, but I got a 20-yard roll
of 24-inch for $34.78 from Tri-Co Blue Print & Supply of Ventura CA.
See <http://www.tricoblue.com/> www.tricoblue.com. They have many
sizes, quantities, rolls and sheets. -jb

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
Darryl

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,
