Subject: Re: inkjet transparency testing

What I have used other than the HP transparencies which as I said
seem to work the best in a HP machine.

Used Xerox did not work well in my HP 855, might get by putting two
copies together but that is a pain to get lined up.

Used Apollo think they have several types, used the one listed for
HP inkjets, did not work as well as the HP's did but better I
beleive than the Xerox did. The Apollo's most likely would need to
used two copies together.

The HP's I do with just one copy, but do have to watch the exposure
time. I might try some of the other print settings, right now as I
said I use the HP Transparency setting and set to manual for
darkest.

These are the only brands I found at the local office supply, the
HP's worked so I have stayed with them for now.

The HP the matte finish on the printed side is kind of like it has a
clear overspray on it, the Xerox was similar but lighter coat and
feels smoother, the Apollo was more like the HP but think it had a
rougher finish don't recall for sure.

Anyone know about the HP print driver for XP, as I said it does not
give me manual control so I print from my old machine on Win 95.
Seems the HP driver that comes with XP is the only choice available.
