 Re: First Post - Screen Help...
Vellum is the incorrect term for 'transparent paper with a vellum finish', a rough surface that holds more laser toner.
If you use vellum finish paper with your EPSON R1800 inkjet, you will probably not be happy with the results because the wet ink will bleed in the textured surface. Try it and look a the print with a magnifying glass.
Coated polyester film for pigment ink is the best thing to use with your R1800.
This has been discussed in many posts on this forum. Search for R1800.
Since you already have an R1800, I don't think you should shop for an EPSON 3000.
For those that do not have an R1800, if the 3000's on eBay work, they are slower than the R1800, but have the old, original EPSON printer driver with the back light film setting that put down twice as much ink deposit and started the inkjet revolution in screen printing. Still not halftone ability though.
