Re: inkjet transparency testing

2003-08-12 by Ben H. Lanmon

I use a HP DeskJet 855C with good results but would like better as I 
do get a few pin holes if exposed too long,  using the HP 
Transparency, set paper type for HP Transparency, Best Printing and 
set to Manual and Intensity to Darkest setting.  I have to print 
from my old machine running Win 95 because my newer machine with XP 
the print driver will not let me do the settings listed above.

Going to be trying a HP 1220 that is at the office and see what it 
does as I think it has better resolution.

Using other brands of transparencies did not work as well on the HP 
855. Get best results with the HP Transparencies.  From what I have 
seen is that you need a transparency that is made for the type of 
ink being used.
A transparency that works well in one brand printer may not work as 
good in another brand of printer.
