8.5 x 11 Inch Waterproof Inkjet Transparency Film for Silk Screen Printing (50 Sheets)

Exactly what I needed for screenprinting

I use these for making a screen for screen printing. The print came out very well. I use the matte photo setting. When I got it wet it had a hazy spot after just wiping it off, I lightly used a blow dryer on low heat to dry it and the hazy spot went away.

Does exactly what I needed it for. To transfer patterns.

I tried printing black ink on this paper using my Epson WF 7710. The first attempt I put one sheet on top of my regular paper in the tray and pressed print. The transparency stuck to the plain white paper and the image printed on the white paper. Second attempt I put a stack of transparencies in my tray and this time they all came through the printer together. Third attempt, I put one transparency in the tray, this time only one came through but was apparently on the incorrect side of the paper. Fourth attempt, one sheet in the tray, correct side inserted, finally success! The correct side of the paper is the rougher side not the glossy. The glossy side just smears ink everywhere. Hope this helps!

I didn't notice that there is a printing side and a non-printing side until it was too late. I didn't notice if the description mentioned this issue or how to determine the right side for printing so here is what I do: if you have dry hands like me, you can feel which side is "slick" and "slippery" and which side feels like it has a super light powder coating. The one with the powder coating is the side to print on. If you have clammy hands like my husband, your fingers will stick to your fingers like glue and turn the powder coated side white where the fingers touched. This product is great and I use it for printing designs for screen printing. Highly Recommended.

I bought a used package and it was totally fine. Every sheet was this type of transparency and there were no regular transparencies to try and fill it up. I had never used something like this and I've owned my own screen printing business for several years so I'm angry that this product has been available for so long. I could have avoided those long and expensive runs to Office Depot etc to get laser print transparencies. If you think you're going to align them up to create a bigger transparency, I'm not exactly sure I would do that. Be careful that you place tape on the "normal transparency" textured side. A cool thing that I found out accidently is that depending on what type of inks or dyes or printer puts out, you can wash these sheets like once or twice to get several uses out of them. You still get a "stain" from the previous print and so I would recommend a little longer exposure time to avoid that. These are super worth the money!

I was a little skeptical at first because these transparencies are more than 50% less than what Staples charged for half as many, and because the transparencies looked very cloudy, but they work great. I've successfully made two different screens using these transparencies with absolutely no issues, and I'm a super green beginner.The only thing to be mindful of is that you print on the rougher side. It can sometimes be hard to tell, and if you don't the ink will bleed and it will be useless. But as long as you're printing on the correct side, you're good to go.

These worked well. I use the Best setting and automatic paper type detection settings on my HP Envy printer, and my transparencies have printed opaque and burned onto my screen printing screen well.There aren't instructions included, but it's easy to tell which is the "printing" side. Wet a fingertip and touch a corner on one side. If it feels tacky and leaves a mark, that's the printing side that takes the ink from your inkjet printer. If it feels smooth and leaves no mark, it's the non-printing side (and any ink will smear if you run it through your printer this side up).
