One recipe page done

formatting link
I got one recipe page done. The first one for my new recipe album.It's kind of plain, but it's striking. I tried to mimic the Italian flag.I'm pretty please with the look. I only have one problem. This is thefirst time I've printed something from the computer for an album and thefirst time I've printed on vellum. First off the black ink started to run.Not bad enough I'm going to change it. Also the black ink stayed wet forhours. I went to do the eyelets after 2 hours and the black came off and Ismeared it on another place on the vellum. So, I used some of my "acidfree" saliva :D and was able to smudge it back off. Whew! Having a biggray smear freaked me out for a minute. Any suggestions with printing on vellum?

PS. I accidently printed about 4 extra recipes on regular paper and can't see throwing them away. Anyone interested in a really good free recipe send me their address and I'll mail them out.

The only suggestion I have for printing on vellum is to set your ink on draft printing. It uses less ink which dries a little faster than normal printing. HTH, Kelly in FL

i usually blot it off with another piece of paper, then take the hair dryer after it. also, there is usually one side of the vellum that is somewhat rougher than the other. if you print on the rougher side, you'll usually have better luck. using the "draft" or "transparency" setting for your printer is supposed to work wonders as well, but i haven't tried that. good luck, and good for you on trying something new!! lori shay louisville
