Laser and copier transparencies will work in LaserJets, won't work 
well in inkjet printers.

I have used inkjet transparencies in an HP laser (I think it was 
8xxx series), Xerox copiers, and Lexmark Optra E+ with no 
melting/distortion problems.  Copier output never worked well for 
me, but it might have been a toner issue.  Now I use my Lexmark with 
a refilled toner cartridge exclusively.

Dennis
