Anyone know where I can print on vellum?

My printer won't print on vellum, Cards and Pockets won't print on vellum, and my local print shop wants to charge $145 to print 100 pieces.

Anyone know another place that will print on vellum that I can try?

Have you tried printing with your own printer using the 'transparency' setting (after clicking print and then properties/options, etc., its usually found under the paper type drop down menu). After printing, you'll have to let it try without touching it and putting anything on top of it for a while, but it should work! Hope this helps!

I would try your local kinkos or staples if it doesn't work at home.

not an option with my printer...and i've tried selecting each different type of paper, but it either jams or feeds the paper right through without printing. after 20 min on the phone with epson they told me they don't think the printer can print on vellum at all. gee thanks lol.

What weight is your vellum?

I have 28# and 40# and it seems like 40# would be easier to print on...

Hmm that might be the issue too.. Did you already order all your vellum?? If you haven't, maybe you can order a few 40 samples from Paper&More, they are not too expensive, like .50 per sheet or something like that.

I had the same problem with the vellum! I ordered #29 white from paper and more and also the cardstock vellum #36. I have an Epson Artisan 710 printer and it would just feed the 29 vellum through without printing but the 36 works with no problem at all.



that's good to know! i have the artisan 835 so many the 36 will work!! fingers crossed...i ordered the sample kit today with all different weight vellum sheets to see if any of them work.
