I used tracing paper - I used double-sided tape to attach it to a sheet of 8.5 x 11 paper (so that it would feed properly) and printed a color image on it using my color ink jet. As mentioned before by others, the paper dissappears when wetted with epoxy, and none of the colors ran or were affected. You may want to wet the paper a little to paste it in place so that it doesn't move around after putting the fiberglass over it. It is easy to do and works great!
