I have done it...I think it depends on the vellum, but I didnt have a problem with it.

I've tried quite a few times with an inkjet and a laser printer.

With the laser it seems like the printing just flakes off the vellum. So it doesnt look very nice.

The ink jet takes forever to dry. I accidentally smeared a whole bunch of pages cause I didn't wait long enough. It was a pain but it looks nice.

I did this too. I used an inkjet printer, no problems. If you're worried about smudging don't touch it for a little while.

You can buy labels to do that at michaels and they are super easy

I've done it, unless I'm missing something, it's not hard at all, it's like printing on regular paper.

I printed on vellum with an ink-jet when I made my votive table numbers and it took a LONG time to dry, but once it did, it was fine.
