I have tried the HP premium transparencies as that is all they had
at the Staples here in Canada. The results were very poor going
through a Laserjet 6L. I did not bother to even try it on the board
as there was some open areas and low toner adhesion. I will try with
a different laser printer and let you guys know. Has anyone tried
the Staples brand of transparencies??
