hey quick question guys,
sorry if it's super basic,
but, can you plot color images into vellum?

yup. If it saturates too much, try setting your printer to 'draft' quality, since vellum absorbs ink differently than other papers.

mylar is great - but can take days (literally) to dry. There are lots of different kinds of vellums - some are made specifically for ink jet printers.

copy shop prints on all sorts. being @ TCAUP you should know that
mylar=gold star

the only thing better than printing on mylar is quality heavy-bond strathmore

wait.. no even better, plot on mylar, inverse all lineweight to white and plot line drawings with black background. cha ching

khmay, hell of a good idea.
i found that out this morning, the mylar thing, when amy showed me the samples on how it would turn out.

there's three mylar prints in my desk now... and they are so pretty. they make me feel all pretty.
woot.
