To David Duhon, Hello! When I purchase white Tyvek from Uline, I order the 24” X 150’ roll. It is 7.5 mil and Type 10 G. (I just called them to check). Sometimes my husband will take a bandsaw to the roll and cut the whole roll to 18” or, sometimes I take a ruler and scissors and I cut it myself. Hope that is helpful, good luck!

I have not tried to print on it (as in taking it to a printer). I have used rubber stamps with ink and it takes ink well when doing rubber stamping.

I thought I remembered a tyvek link here but could not find it--a place that would cut to width. I also see that there are different types for printing, like specific for laserjet, etc. So, what kind for ink, and where can I get it at 18" widths or cut to that. thx

Hi Sue: JohannaM from Artists in Partnership, Inc. here in Long Beach NY. I am trying to put together a Crankie weekend here on Long Island and was wondering if you might be able to suggest some NY artists who are working with this amazing genre? I am in preliminary conversations with artists in Baltimore and would like to get some locals on board as well. Any assistance would be most appreciated. Thank you! JohannaM

To Eddie Speghetti: Hello! I would like to see your crankie! Yes, the link isn’t working for some reason. What is the title of the crankie? I could go to the you tube site and type in the title and get to it that way?
