    • it doesn't have the texture because it's not "vellum"Gnash
    • used wax paper because the restaurant was be able to print out the menu pages in the cheapest possible way on a paper what they actually use for cooking :)sted
    • what kind of printing on the wax paper? offset litho? Not laser, that would melt the waxmonospaced
    • a printer would never run wax paper through a litho press either.Gnash
    • inkjetsted
    • lol. so your "pre-press' experience is on your home inkjet printer?Gnash
    • 'Wax' paper isn't literally waxed these days though, is it? If it was it'd melt in the oven, the exact environment it's intended for.detritus
    • look, it's okay not to know everything. I know as much about the digital world as you do about print.Gnash
    • don't be confusing pickfloyd by offering your guesses.Gnash
    • Gnash no. 3 months at a pharma prepress. and 10 years as operator and art-director. with many machine starts and impossible projects.sted
    • @detrius not sure, but i know you buy wax paper at a grocery store, not a print shop.Gnash
    • and please fuck off with this style.sted
    • Sted, and you ran Wax paper through your presses?Gnash
    • geez you actually read or just here to be the asshole? "restaurant was be able to print out the menu pages" on their OWN inkjet printer.sted
    • not a single fucking person said that it's not vellum :( or that you aren't right. so please jerk it off already.sted
    • pink wasn't asking to print it on his own printer.. i'm sure you could print on a slice of cheese at home if you wanted to. spec'ing for print is different.Gnash
    • @detritus Wax paper in the oven?? No. It smokes and melts. Maybe you are thinking of parchment paper. That's the paper for the oven.ETM
    • Right you are, ETM! I forgot what wax paper actually is there for a second - wrapping meat in the 1920's, not cooking pizzarolls in the 21st C :)detritus
    • lol they still use that for wrapping :)sted
    • wax paper has real wax on it, yesmonospaced
