Is Onion Skin paper good for anything any these days?

I just found a ream of it buried in the back of the closet.
It is too thin for my printer. Did make a decent but delicate airplane.

Good for making carbon copies that don’t take up as much space in the filing cabinet as regular paper.

For architectural work? I am curious how it is useful there. Viewing overlays, perhaps?



When in doubt, mumble

Yes. It is our standard medium for rough planning. Draw and then trace over the top for quick changes and alternate plans. Fwiw, we actually just call it "trace" not onion skin and I prefer white over the yellow. And we use it by the roll, not the cut sheet.

I was going to suggest putting some in your chicken broth to add a little color, but I don't think I'm thing of the same onion skin. Must be too young to understand.

I had to google WTF it is. Once I did, I recognized it. I just never heard it called that.
