You can buy 20% 36% 44% 56% 75% & 88% cloth &
wood fiber High strength paper from paper and
print companies. I have some 75% silk & Cotton
Blend Degree & Document high Quality paper used
in making Deplomas that works well for reprinting
maps on. The stuff I bought is legal size and my
printer uses standard size paper so I just cut it
down a little.
Today I tried something and washed three sheets
in the clothes Washer and then put it in the Dryer
with some Bath towels. 1 sheet tore in two and
the other two came thru pretty good just very rinkled.
Next, I used my wifes Iron and ironing board and
Ironed the two remaining full sheets flat.
Then even though they were now flat again they were
still flexable like cotton sheets but slightly firmer.

( I have to much time on my hands right now )

I loaded a single sheet in the printer and then
I printed a map of Guild wars on it and other
than the fact it is too small to really use in game
it came out pretty darn good and I didn't need the
Iron-on Paper to transfer the map to the paper I just
used my printer.

The whole process took about 7 hours but it worked.
