BJC85 that sounds like the model # of my little portable printer I
use in the truck with my laptop, Does OK on paper anyway never tried
it with Transparencies. Yes give the Yellow ink a try, I think you
will find that it does a lot better than the Black ink, blocks UV
better. I have held transparencies done in Black and could not see
thru it and did just OK. But using Yellow yes you can see thru it
but it blocks UV. Most likely running it thru multiple times does
not give you the sharpest image either. I know with my HP 1700
sometime the second run thru would line up good and sometime it
would not just slightly off. I think that you will like the results
of using the yellow ink.
