The problem simply is: Not every laser does the job. I bought a
Brother Laser, and I have special matte transparencies that seem to
work excellent on the larger LaserJet models, However, they do not
work on this particular model. Like inkjet, results depend on the
printer, toner, and transparency combination. For this printer, I
haven't found any suitable transparency.

But even the best Laserjet prints on this matte transparency is not
as black as the inkjet printout on this full transparent media.
