Transparency Film Sheets for Inkjet Printers 30 Sheets, 100% Clear Paper Acetate Sheets for Overhead Projector 8.5 X 11 Inches

I am making transparencies for 1st grade students to use on an old overhead projector as they retell stories we have read in the classroom. To print on transparencies I'm using my inkjet printer, EPSON ET-2550. I go to "Print Settings" and in the Media Type box I select "Premium Photo Paper Glossy." For Print Quality I selected " Quality". I find these settings are a huge factor in the quality of my prints! (Choosing "High or Best Quality" seems to lay down too much ink and takes longer to dry. I'm still experimenting with that though.) TIPS: The transparencies are near impossible to tell the front from the back. There is a very subtle texture difference from the front and back of the transparencies. The cellophane package, the transparencies are wrapped in, has a sticker that says "printed side" indicating which side of transparencies to print on. Take note of that side! I left them in the cellophane package until I am ready to print so I won't mistaken the front from the back. (The side used for printing and holding the ink has an ever so slightly texture feel. The only way I can detect this texture is to run a felt tip sharpie pen across the transparency film - I can feel the difference in the way the felt tip sharpie pen glides across the film. There may be other ways to feel the difference - but this is what I find works for me.) When the film first comes out of the printer the ink is slightly wet. Do not let the freshly printed transparency film stack up on top of each other in the output tray of printer. (Which I did at first and the ink did spear.) As soon as one transparency film is printed I take it out of tray and set it aside to dry. I notice the longer the printed transparency film dryes or "sets" the sharper the image gets. The ones I printed last night feel very dry to the touch and I can now stack them on top of each other to store. I actually left them out to dry overnight. I'm not sure if that was over doing it - but I want to be sure they are dry before I stack them to store. I have rubbed on the printed images I printed last night and they are not spearing and the ink seems to be there to stay. I hope my experience with this product helps you. I will have to update this review once our 1st graders put them through further testing!

These are perfect for my use. I'm an artist who makes translucent suncatchers and bookmarks. I'm printing on two different printers, one with pigment and one with dye inks with no issues. My print setting is to the highest gloss and best print quality. I'm printing with Epson printers ET-8550 and ST-C8000 with no issues whatsoever. The colors are bright and beautiful! No smearing. After drying for about 1 hour I put the transparency in 3 mil laminating pouches and laminate at the 3 mil setting without any degradation to the transparency or any warping. I had a hard time finding info about this method so I thought others might like to know here.

Just make sure to get one sheet at a time so as not to confuse the print side and the other side. you can mark also one of the corner to identify the print side. This is the most important thing to remember since the both sides are very similar in texture. Other than that, you should be good in printing

I use mine with an HP Deskjet Plus 4122 printer, and they are amazing. The sheets are labeled in the package so you can know immediately which side to print on. I flip the image on the print job so that when printed, I can flip the sheet and write on the non-printed side with dry-erase markers. I set my media type to Glossy paper and everything prints crisply and clearly. These sheets are great to foster learning and writing since you can erase your writing and the printed side stays intact. Highly recommend.

One star off because of how finicky any printer is with off-brand specialty paper. Do not expect to be able to stick this in a printer that specifically isn't made for transparencies. Definitely do NOT put this in an HP or an Epson unless you want to void your warantee at worst and get jams at the best.

Very easy to use and well worth the money. Great product

work great

I bought this thinking it was a transparent sticker. Moments after, I realised these are the type of sheets they would use for the old overhead projector way back pre 2000s years ago before they introduced smartboards and touchscreen display boards in classrooms. I didn't intend to get these but I ended up finding a use for them, these might be useful if you want to make original physical copies of documents for photocopiers, or you can use dry erase markers on them and with a blank copy paper use it as a flexible white board
