Transparency Sheets for Inkjet Printers, Clear Acetate Sheets | 30 Sheets 8.5" X 11", Inkjet Transparency Film & Transparency Paper for Overhead Projectors

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!

Good quality. Shows which side to print on. I had no smudges or issues using it with my printer.

Nice quality and very quick delivery.

I use these sheets for card making. The inkjet printer ink works great on these. The colors do not run, even if using a cutting machine next.

These transparency sheets are very good, decent thickness so they don’t try to curl up, good color saturation and clean edge to your graphics, super crystal clear, dry quickly and at a good price. So why only four stars? The company needs to do one simple thing cut or round one of the corners so you can tell which side is the print side. The bag itself they come in has a sticker on it telling you “this side for print” but once you take a sheet out use it don’t put it down as, at least for me, it is impossible to tell which side is printable.

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

Printed on inkjet printer fine, but impossible to determine which side to print on, once removed from package. They are inexpensive and make a decent copy, but the transparency film is scratched and smudgy out of the unsealed cheap packaging. For throwaway use after projects they're ok. Amazon shipped two different orders, 30 quantity and 90 quantity, in plastic and paper bags. Both items arrived with product packaging bent and edge ripped open. A box of 30 contained 29. I wonder if they were someone's returns, unless damaged from shipping without a box.
