I would say, got to an art supply store and get some high quallity drafing vellum.  It's
somewhat translucent, holds the ink VERY well without any feathering at all.  And brings the
colors out brilliantly.  It's relitively expencive, about $3 a sheet.  But the sheets are
about 20" wide if not more and can be cut usually by the attendenant at the shop in the paper
department.  Or they will provide a large paper cutter for your use.
