Random brand here.

HOWEVER here is the big tip. They have probably
absorbed a lot of moisture from the air.

Put them in the oven for 10 mins at 140c before
hand to dry em out. They soak up heaps of ink
and get plenty dark then :D

My full procedure is

Print artwork in draft mode onto sheet of A4
Cut tranny to cover artwork with few cm border
tape tranny to paper along one edge with 3M tape
put in oven for 10 mins
remove from oven and tape opposite edge
run through printer (mode = tranny+high)
