Yeah, I figured that. I have some old HP glossy inkjet paper that
does the same thing, but the new Epson glossy works just fine.

However, I'm just playing with whatever I've got sitting around here.
The transparencies are for laser printers anyway, I expected them to
reject pretty much any ink. They don't bleed though, and the puddling
seems to help. It does show that the printer supports thinner
features than I expected, though. As of this morning, the
transparency prints from last night are a mess - they bled all over
the place and the ink is still wet. So yeah, I can't ∗use∗ those
sheets for anything, but it was worth trying them anyway.

Staples has inkjet compatible transparencies, but they're expensive.
