I think my printer can print on photo-sized paper (not that I have ever tried) so I might have a shot at that once I source some paper - at least there would be lest wastage if it goes pear-shaped.

The paper is very absorbent which might not work. The other thing is that it doesn't come in 8"x11" sheets like regular printer paper. The piece I ended buying was more poster size and you would have to trim that down to make it fit in a printer.

This sounds a great way to attempt to do flags and standards.<br /><br />My free-hand drawing skills are lamentable (ok, non-existent), but I do wonder if it's possible to print on such paper via an inkjet to get the general outlines.

I do commend you for making the effort to do something like this even though, self-admittedly, you are not a good artist. This effort should definitely encourage those of us who share that concern.<br />JerryCelticCurmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17687177512999052331noreply@blogger.com
