BJC85 that sounds like the model # of my little portable printer I 
use in the truck with my laptop, Does OK on paper anyway never tried 
it with Transparencies.  Yes give the Yellow ink a try, I think you 
will find that it does a lot better than the Black ink, blocks UV 
better.  I have held transparencies done in Black and could not see 
thru it and did just OK.  But using Yellow yes you can see thru it 
but it blocks UV.  Most likely running it thru multiple times does 
not give you the sharpest image either.  I know with my HP 1700 
sometime the second run thru would line up good and sometime it 
would not just slightly off.  I think that you will like the results 
of using the yellow ink.
