Anne’s nifty printing idea
by Anne Rogers
Fed up with tedious pattern tracing?
Well, did you know you can print or photocopy
directly on to tracing paper, simply using your
printer?
Tracing paper ready to go - smooth edge
down towards printer, torn edge upwards
All you need is an A4-sized sheet of reasonably
good quality tracing paper (a weight of 90 gsm
works well).
Place your sheet of tracing paper into the sheet-
feed of your printer (tip: if you've torn it from a pad
of tracing paper, make sure you place it with the
free, smooth edge facing into the sheet-feed, as
the rough, torn-off edge could snag the printer).
(see Photo)
Now simply print your image directly from your
computer exactly as you would print on to ordinary
paper.
Alternatively, if your printer is also a scanner, you
can scan your design directly onto the tracing
paper.
And here is the printed sheet - you may
recognise the pattern

Well, unless you are an ex-KGB agent, in which case it might have been a better idea to keep
them to yourself.
Anyway, I don’t think Vlad has too much interest in folk art and decorative painting, so we
should be OK …
