Digital BW, The Print

Phil,
I'm not familiar with the smaller printers at all.. On the large format 
models you can go in and shut all that stuff off. Hopefully that is possible 
on these also.. If you using 8 1/2 x 11 just try a backing sheet..That 
should get you out of the woods.  As a thought.. I think I got it.. duh.. Go 
to a fabric store.. ( we have JoAnns out here)  they have a spray that you 
can use on a piece of paper or ??? this stuff is for quilters.. that will 
turn the material into a sticky note sort of.. Then just lay your clear 
material on that sheet and go for it.. bet that'll do it.. I use this stuff 
for all kinds of crazy things here.
