Gonna be some trial and error to get the right type of contrast. On an Epson to print the 50's it looks exactly like the real 50 when you put brightness on level 2 and set it to normal print. I couldn't believe that normal setting looked better then "best setting". You got to play with it a little. Use newsprint paper from Walmart I believe its called strathmore. Your suppose to get the lightest lbs which I think is 12 but they usually only sell those online but you should just go to Walmart get 20 or 30lbs just to see if those are cool and to practice on. Your gonna do watermarks and security thread too?
