i prefer the vellum paper over carol doaks but i know many people love her paper.
the paper is actually called Neenah Paper UV/Ultra II 17 Weight in Radiant White.
the paper tears away with total ease and i like that you can see thru the paper.
here's a link so you can see how translucent the paper is

its much cheaper to buy it by the ream then it is to order it from the above link.
The problem I have with Carol Doakes paper is that it jams in my printer, even doing just one sheet at a time. The vellum is not a problem=less swearing and hair pulling!!!!!!!! LOL
