As above I am looking for "Tracing" style paper that I can print photos onto via my Inkjet printer. Does any one know where I can get this from? Incase you dont know what I mean, it is a sort of semi opaque paper. All help much appreciated :)
Thanks
Ricky

You don't mean 'tracing paper'. What you want is 'transfer paper. Tracing paper is for copying something that is underneath the paper, such as a book, photo, etc.

Just google transfer paper.

What is the problem that requires a solution? The answer may be tracing paper, may be transfer paper, or it may have a completely different solution that may be new to you.

Ok I need to re explain:) I am making up inserts for invitations and they need to be printed onto semi opaque paper. I have never tried to print onto "Tracing" paper but suspect the inks will not adhere to it. I have never heard of transfer paper, can you print direct onto it via your inkjet printer? Ok just Goggled transfer paper and it looks like something you would use to print onto then iron onto a T shirt, this is not what I want to do. Any ideas folks? I appreciate your comments so far :)
Cheers Ricky

I would not think that tracing paper would hold ink, as you suspect. It's most often kinda "slimey" and slick. And transfer paper is not what you want obviously.

Hmmmm... I have to say that I have never come across a translucent paper that I would trust to hold inkjet inks...

Maybe:

39lb. Red River Sheer is a translucent inkjet paper. It's opaque when held up and see-thru when placed on top of another image. Sheer is coated on one side for photography printing and sharp text. Great for greeting card, map inserts and more.

* translucent inkjet paper
* printable on one side
* acid free coating and stock
* not recommended for pigmented inks (Epson UltraChrome)

Google for "translucent inkjet paper" = 204,000 hits....

Me either. When my dad printed my wife and my wedding invitations we were going to use this but he has a laser printer. You should be able to find this paper at any local stationary supply store (maybe even an office supply store).
