Oiled paper as transparent paper

Hey everyone
Im new to cyanotype and been trying out a couple of different transparent paper to print on and had been struggling to find the right type.

I have two printer on is a inkjet and the other is thermal yet they both not working for my paper with the inkjet the ink just pools on it and smear while with the thermal it just get stuck.

Been searching good type and while looking found people doing cyanotype with regular white paper that they oil it to become transparent and been wondering whether someone tried it and if its actually work?

Also would appreciate any recs for good and cheap transparent paper i can use and thank you all🤍
