use a high speed low resolution profile. 360 2pass
This will put down a lot less ink and might work

Isn't butcher paper coated in wax? I don't think the inks will stick.
I actually had a customer ask me about something like this a few months ago. I didn't feel comfortable doing it - even as a test - as she was planning on wrapping food in the paper.

Butcher paper
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Butcher paper is cheap but sturdy paper that is sold in large rolls. "Butcher paper" is white, made from kraft pulp and is generally considered to be between 30 lb/3000 sq ft (45 g/m²) and 50 lb/3000 sq ft (81 g/m²) basis weight of paper. Originally sold to butchers for the purpose of wrapping meat and fish, butcher paper is now used for a wide variety of purposes, notably in primary education where it is used for arts and crafts. Most highschools use butcher paper for posters of clubs, and upcoming events.
Back in the day, we hand-painted on this paper because it was very cheap and the grocery stores provided us this paper in bulk. It handled perfectly and did the job splendidly. Everyone was happy for the signs that needed to last a week or so.

Maybe you don't care... but did ever stop to think that this could be a potential customer you're trying to make feel like a a$$ for asking a simple question?

Based on the OP's profile, I don't think there is much need to worry about his/her being a potential customer.... besides, I'm under the impression that other than signs shops, no potential customers are here or anywhere else on this forum. Please read the headliner on entering this site. However, with most of today's money problems, I'm sure 3M is working on a way to get even cheap paper into their arsenal of digital media for a greater reap of rewards from us sign shops.
