As an aside, what's the heaviest stock anyone has ever output a sketch onto. I want to work on these sketches by hand, but I don't want to use vellum or a light table. I want to be able print them right to say a good strathmore paper, maybe 100lbs...thoughts?

I do like that idea! Good ol 'traditional art... !
I am not exactly sure what you are asking here? I would think that you will want to use a light table and keep working those lines over and over again. That seems like the best way to keep the drawing feeling loose/fresh. Or tracing paper?
I think I am confused by what you are looking for?
Well, I've used vellum for years, but it warps when using a water based medium. So you're left with turp thinned oils...and then you have to wait for them to dry before you can work back over them and they don't have a lot of tooth to sink into...
So I guess I was curious about printing a screened back version a sketch onto a thicker stock. A light table could work, I may have to invest in a larger usable table one that can at least handle 11x17 sized paper...
lincoln, do you have the ability to print 11X17? I guess my personal preference would be to use the light table, it would be easier to print but that hand made line is always better then a copy.
I dont have a light table but i have a piece of glass from an old table and put a lamp underneath, or if it is a bigger drawing i will tape it up to the window during the day and trace it that way. it is a bit tiring but it works great in a pinch
well...copymax does :-)
But that's a good point with the glass and a light underneath - I have a very large sheet of plexi and I think I could rig up something that could work. Thanks for the advice!
