I can only envision a few instances where a Laser would give
better opacity results than an inkjet.

A)  Transparency film used is for Laser ONLY. Inkjet ink
    "pools" or "puddles"

B)  Inkjet in DRAFT mode, I seem to recall some printers that
    would "lock" into draft when the ink hit a certain low quantity
    level remaining in the cartridge. Possibly a corrupt printer driver.

C)  Really OLD Inkjet Printer i.e "360 dpi"
