Printing on Vellum

21 years ago

When I print on vellum - and let it sit to make sure the ink is dry - it still smears. I'm using good HP ink cartridges. Any suggestions.

I have never printed on vellum but I have a friend who does. She said that if you are using an ink jet printer that there is vellum you can buy that is made specifically for ink jet printing so the ink will not smear. She said you can but it at Michael's the brand is Strathmore. below is also a link that carries it. She also said the only way for it not to smear is to use a laser jet printer. Hope this helps.

Sticker Plannet has some nice ones along with Paper Wishes. I have ordered from both and some I like better than others . You can also make your own using Xryon Machines, that you can get on line from JoAnns and other sites or from Michels using coupons but watch buying some items at WalMart. You can to to Xryon.com also.

Scrapbooking w/Dried Flowers

Thank you Penny and Alice. I'll have to practice this first, but I think I will laminate the flower and then print a Bible passage on vellum paper and place the vellum over the flower, putting the flower under the poem. I hope it turns out as nice as I think it will. My grandmother passed away and I would like to save the carnation that was given to me at her services. She turned 100 in January and I have some great pictures of her to scrapbook. I didn't want to put the flower in one of those momento pockets for fear it would get moldy. I hope laminating it doesn't do the same. Thanks again for the great ideas. Lisa
