Vellum is a bit pricey, so I ended up buying Canson light weight bond which works a lot like marker paper. I like your trace on foamcore style too. How do you mount it?

Has anyone found a place that sells marker paper on rolls?  Alternatively… does anyone use vellum with ChartPak markers? 
I’m sick of bond sucking up my markers, but I need large format.  Thanks!
