Yep - some printes do a good job on OHTs.

Many laser printers leave nasty pinholes
on them and things don't work out as well.

I know my laserjet 4xxx does a bad job -
but I have used a fancy laser printer that
does a great job.

That is why generally accepted practice
it to use vellum. It seems to work out
well on any laser printer.
