Yes it is printable and traceable. However, you're right because it has a release sheet, it is a little denser to see through. I have traced on it on a lightboard, and on a window. However, you could also remove the release sheet and then it's very easy to see through. You could more easily trace on a window then putting the pattern on the other side of a door, if that's practical. The lightboard is really the easiest if you have one or can concoct one. I would suggest using a water soluble pen to trace with, but a permanent ink pen can also be used. But be careful you rinse the water soluble away, don't just soak it if you use a permanent ink pen. Those inks can sometimes float and adhere when you lift the fabric out (hard lesson I learned).
Using Super Solvy (as a topper?) works great. It's not terrible stable for a backing for embroidery, but when we had nothing else years ago we used it. It will press together with a warm dry iron to make it heavier (if you iron is not non-stick, you should use a presscloth to do this. And, if you use as a topper or a bottom stabilizer you can use Sulky KK 2000 to adhere it. Spray the stabilizer lightly. It will eliminate the need for tape (although the adhesion will go away if the project sits for a day or two but you can always re-spray.
