If you have lots of copying call your copy place and ask if they can print on velum .. it thin paper that architects use to see/draw on as you can see the paper underneath. Many quilters shops carry rolls of paper that is very thin, architects use the same product as "trace". Velum is very similiar and comes on large size rolls for printing building drawings.
I have enlarged and printed some P/P designs on large 36 in velum and larger. A good copy place can and enlarge and print onto velum if you ever have the need.

I use lightweight (not scrapbooking weight) vellum for all pp blocks that don't have small intricate pieces (I use Stable Stuff for those). The vellum is the best I've found to use. I ordered a ream of it.

I just use regular copy paper, use a smaller stitch length so it is really easy to tear off. Also, when I sew seams together I tear off the paper that would be included in the seam. As for using your printer - can you put more than one pattern on a 8 1/2 x 11 paper? Some printers use their copy machines and can charge a pretty penny for copying. It may be cheaper for you to buy an extra black ink cartage.

Does it clog the machine ? Sorry I'm sure it doesn't but it was my sudden idea when I read your reply. I just soak in either sink or bath until paper has gone. Then try to dry outside. Or in tumble drier.
