One tip is to use a dry iron on any paper first if it has ink print on it. It will help set the ink and it won't come off on your fingers....
:roll: rich people's butlers do this to keep their fingers/hands clean while they read it :roll:
I also buy the ends of newspaper rolls very cheaply...I can cut out any size blocks that I want out of it and I use it for other things as well. You can call your local paper and ask if they sell them and for how much.
