SMR Premium Vellum
For Laser or Inkjet Printers

For screen print positives and digitizing overlays.

The difference is clear! In fact, our vellum is up to 20% more transparent than other brands, which can decrease exposure times while increasing definition. Many printers think that all vellum is pretty much alike - but nothing could be further from the truth!

  • SMR's Heavy 29Lb weight is almost twice as heavy as other brands, yet it's more transparent! Your computer printer can't tell the difference between our vellum and a regular sheet of paper, so jamming problems become a thing of the past!
  • Priced lower than competing brands.
  • Vellum1.jpg (10061 bytes)Heavier weight means fewer tearing problems.
  • SMR Premium Vellum is designed to transmit UV light - many screenprinters try to use vellum products designed for scrapbooking, and those products are often designed to block UV rays

Using vellum in your shop can help you cut pre-press costs dramatically. When you consider that you pay about $150 for 100 sheets of  the cheapest brands of 11" x 14" film, plus another $20 or more for developing chemicals to process those sheets, you've got $1.70 per sheet of film. Add to that, the costs of owning and maintaining your photographic equipment, plus the labor for shooting that film, and it is no wonder that experts estimate that it costs the average shop around $5 to create a film positive. Compare that with the .20 cents we charge for an 11 x 17 sheet of our premium vellum, which allows you to create an equivalent of a film positive in your ink-jet or laser printer.

Besides cutting material costs, using vellum saves time. If you are curious as to whether you could use vellum, be sure to see our complete reference guide for using vellum at the right side of the top of this page.
