If using a laser then vellum/drafting-film.
Lasers a transperency material don't work
well together.

Lasers do excellent black for thin lines but
unless you have a new-car-priced laser then
large black areas will be faded.

Any cheap inkjet will give better results
than any cheap laser for large black areas.
The inkjet will also have better dimensionl
accuracy / less-distortion.

Now I have lost access to the fantastic
Tektronix laser I had at work I have switched
to using a random canon inkjet on gelatine
coated inkjet transparencies.

Gives almost as good a result with $100 worth
of printer than a $30K+ printer did.  Only
downside is that the transparencies cost $2
a sheet rather than $0.30 a sheet.  So I am
frugal with them and do a test print on paper
and then cut out a small rectangle of tranny
to tape over the test print.
