AACCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKK! lol.. thanks! thank you Arsty! lol I went to office depot and bought there brand as it is WAY cheaper! lol....

Hi Carol, yes, I have an old HP PhotoSmart P1000. But I've never printed on vellum, so I won't be much help. Did the packaging the paper came in not have any instructions? A google search found these tidbits of info: Apparently it isn't as porous as regular paper and won't absorb the ink so it just sits on top of the vellum. Â Go into your printer set-up and adjust it to the Transparency setting. This will put the least amount of ink onto the vellum. Â Go into page set-up in your word processing program and set the margin 1" from the top of the page. This will allow the printer time to get a "hold" on the vellum and reduces smearing. And yes, you can cut a 12"x12" sheet of vellum to 81/2" wide and put it through a laser printer.

Okay....I've tried Irfanview and PSP 7 and when I try to save them to these places, they show up blank. Mikie...these are pictures from my grandson's teacher's website. I am making him an album of his school years and wanted some pictures she has there. She has a template that she drops the pictures into for the site, and they are there as transparent gifs. There are tutorials on "making" transparent gifs, but I could find no place that told me how to print them from a website. Thank you, Mikie...I've never tried printing air :o)

MIssion Accomplished! First, let me explain, then I will tell you what worked. From what I have been told there are inkjet transparencies, but you have to paint the reverse side or the picture does not show well in all settings. I wanted the picture to "pop" and I also wanted the picture to appear that it was suspended inside the ornament. Plus, I was given some black and white copier transparencies. Transparencies are costly and come in huge packages. I only need a few sheets, so I started with what I had and free is always good if you can make it work. And to make matters even harder, I always had a problem with one-sided ornaments because they always seem to want to turn to the backside, so I wanted the picture on both sides. Now to what I did that worked. I found my picture and sized it. Then I copied the picture into my Paint program and flipped it and transferred that back. So now I have the same picture that I can print and use back to back. I printed the pictures onto photo paper (next time I would probably find some very light weight photo or glossy paper). I took the printed pictures and stuck them to one side of double sided carpet tape. Then I cut out the pictures trying to keep the same spacing around each one. I matched them back to back as close as I could trimmming here and there until they were very close. (Now, this is where I probably should have taken a little more time, but it was after midnight and they were looking pretty good :)) Then I removed the backing of the tape off one picture and centered it on my film (that had been cut to fit the inside of the ornament) and pressed all the edges. I repeated this with the other picture on the other side of the film matching this outline to the other picture outline. After pressing firmly in place I carefully rolled it around a pencil and inserted it into the ornament. It was a little hard because of the thickness of two photos and the film to roll around the pencil but the carpet tape held and it worked. I accomplished my goal on this project - the pictures really pop even if the ornament turns around. Hope this made sense. This was suppose to be my practice project before attempting memory ornaments in honor of my daughter. I did learn alot but will probably invest in the inkjet transparency film for those.
