Laser transparencies
2002-07-31 by microguycnc
For those of you using a laser printer to print their artwork onto transparencies - Can someone recommend a brand that doesn't deform when passed through the laser printer? I recently took some 3M and Alpha laser transparencies along while looking for a new printer. I ran them through every working laser I could find. I then printed the same test pages on standard paper. Laying the printed transparency on top of the printed paper showed that registration was off on each and every transparency. This might not pose _THAT_ much of a problem with small boards, but I'd worry about anything larger than 3-4 inches. Has anyone here found some transparency material that holds up better to the heat of the laser printing process? I'd surely appreciate any ideas any of you might have on the matter. Thanks!
