What I have used other than the HP transparencies which as I said seem to work the best in a HP machine. Used Xerox did not work well in my HP 855, might get by putting two copies together but that is a pain to get lined up. Used Apollo think they have several types, used the one listed for HP inkjets, did not work as well as the HP's did but better I beleive than the Xerox did. The Apollo's most likely would need to used two copies together. The HP's I do with just one copy, but do have to watch the exposure time. I might try some of the other print settings, right now as I said I use the HP Transparency setting and set to manual for darkest. These are the only brands I found at the local office supply, the HP's worked so I have stayed with them for now. The HP the matte finish on the printed side is kind of like it has a clear overspray on it, the Xerox was similar but lighter coat and feels smoother, the Apollo was more like the HP but think it had a rougher finish don't recall for sure. Anyone know about the HP print driver for XP, as I said it does not give me manual control so I print from my old machine on Win 95. Seems the HP driver that comes with XP is the only choice available. Ben
