A Failed Experiment with Kraft Paper

After seeing the new Makerbot ABP I was curious about build surfaces.  One that I thought might work was Kraft paper.  It has a similar surface to painters tape is very cheap and could possible allow for a ABP type conveyor.  So I taped some down to my build board and tried printing.


The results with a small part were very good, although the paper seemed to lift up where it was not taped down.
I then tried larger parts where the results were probably usable, however they were VERY warped (although the pictures do not show it very well)...
