I've been having good transfers with HP Inkjet transparencies for a 
couple years; better than I've ever had with paper.  I bought in bulk 
and don't have a part number.  In addition to being able to align 
better and no rubbing, you can monitor the progress of the transfer 
better.  I use an iron, so can adjust where I apply heat to get the 
best results.  Don't know how it would work with a laminator...

I tried many types of laser and wax transparencies and none worked as 
well as inkjet.

Running inkjet transparencies through HP LaserJet type laser printers 
and my Lexmark Optra E+ didn't cause any problems for the printer.

Regards,
Dennis
