I go to the local library or a small quilt shop to print mine off. Small charge.

Thank you for all the info. I'm not using a Carol D pattern just the paper that had her name on it. I'm attempting to make a storm at sea quilt, making my own design with a heart, beach (sand) sunset and working up into the sea / sky. YIKES? I down loaded my pattern form Storm at Sea Quilt Blocks. www.generations-quilt-patterns.com Went to Kinko's yesterday and Carol's paper was too thin for them and jammed. Will get the thinner paper. Now to figure out "draft mode" and shades of gray. Anything special I need to know about that. Thanks again, Donna

I use eco font (download free) to save ink and also to not put so much ink on the paper. It uses about 50% less ink and not noticeable for regular printing.

I have to feed the papers one at a time to get thru my printer. It does take time but it works great. An inkjet isn't a problem since you are tearing the paper off.

Did you try manually feeding one page at a time? that is the only way I can get it not to jam up the printer/copier. If I put the thin paper into the auto feed tray, I have problems. I buy newsprint from Blicks in a 9*12 size pad and have to trim it down to 11x8.5 so it will fit in my home printer/copier. I took it to work to see if that would be better (we have several different machines at work) and had the same problems.

I put in about 12 sheets at a time it was a cannon printer

When I pp, I use regular paper in my inkjet printer. Before I start piecing, I gently score along the stitching lines with the pointed end of my seam ripper and a ruler and then fold along the lines. Your fabric goes on the back side, not the printed side, so if you use draft setting on your printer, the ink shouldn't be a problem. The folding and scoring take a little extra time, but save time in the removal step as the paper pulls away much easier.

Thank you all. I printed off my pattern one at a time though my inject printer and lighted up the ink. Will look into the draft setting and "folding and scoring". All is going well.

I've never used the thinner paper. You may not need to score it. It might tear. Let us know(0:

Whitney, glad to know you have found a solution. Your post was timely as I recently purchased a package of Carol Doak's paper but have not printed on it yet... I am waiting for a new ink cartridge for my HP then I'll give it a try.
