printing on transparency

[Anne93]

Hi,

I'm wonder what would be the best brand and the best method for printing on a clear sheet. This for not need to be used as a digital negative or anything. I would just like to print an image on something clear so that I may overlay it on a regular digital print.

Hard to believe it's been at least 20 years already...but back in the 'good old days' before digital images, when one wanted to use an overhead projector with charts/graphs/text from a computer, there was letter-size transparency 'film' (as it was called) that could be put into a copier and the images copied onto that. That was put into a cardboard 'frame' and then placed on the projector. Obviously, the plastic/film/? had to be able to withstand the heat of a copier. Perhaps that is still available at office supply stores?

You can still find transparency film at office stores. Inkjet printing can be iffy, but Ive had good luck printing with laser printing (im a teacher and used to make lots of them)
