In Mid-80's, gosh, almost 20 years ago, when I was looking for the best vellum to print tri-color
casein on, I tried them all and found all to work fine for one printing and one printing only, except
one, from Koh-I-Noor(sp?), which showed little staining even after 2 or 3 printings. Does anyone
know if it's still available?
