Some may remember my 1st attempt to print on vellum and it ran. Someone said to change the printer setting to use less ink and I can't find where to change that. Any help in locating that little bugger would be greatly appreciated.

Do you have an HP printer? That is what I have and in the preferences box on the little window that comes up you can choose draft from the quality tab. It depends on your printer as to what it will say. When I asked this question one of the suggestions was to not touch it and let it sit for quite a while, that works and print on the courser side.

I have a HP LaserJet. I'm using Windows and I can't for the life of me find the printer quality section. Tonight I ran through what I thought was every thing to click on. I'll keep looking using all of your guys suggestions.

if you use Word or a program like that try this. When you click on print, (FILE/PRINT) not just the printer icon, a box usually comes up asking how many copies etc. that you want to print. Near the top of the box their is an area that says properties. Click on that. That is where you can set the properties for your printing. Hope this helps! Kelly in FL

That's really wierd - I use an HP Laserjet and I've never had a problem with vellum... now, on some thick cardstock I've had the words wipe right off, but not on vellum... have you tried other vellums? Maybe it was just that piece?
It doesn't really matter whick kind of ink jet that you have some of the fancy vellums used in scrapbooking don't take the ink, if it doesn't run it smears or bleads. Go to your office supply (staples, office max) and get a package of inkjet vellum. You can get 50 sheets for 5 bucks which is much cheaper than the scrapbook stuff. The kind I found was still acid free and some scrapbook stores have started carrying it.
The only draw back is that you don't get 12 x 12 or fancy colors but for a patch of journaling it works great.
