Proofing and paper

So I couldn't find any kind of paper with the right qualities here in town, specifically 300gsm 100% cotton buff paper.  I was almost resigned to printing it on white until the guy in the art supply store suggested that I stain the paper with tea.

Then it all became so clear...since this is a coffee themed  thank you, why no stain the paper with coffee?  this is what 95-ish pieces of 5"x7" BFK look like in 72 cups of coffee.

And here is the first proof of the cut printed.  Final proof and printing tomorrow, once I fish all of the paper out of the coffee.  Also,  I think the ink needs to be more brown.
