What If

THE INK NEVER DRIES OR THERE ARE CRACKS IN THE SOLID BLOCKS OF COLOR

•You might have printed on the wrong side of the transpar- ency. Make sure to put it into the printer rough side down.

•You might be trying to print on a trans- parency that wasn’t meant for an inkjet printer.

THE QUALITY ISN’T WHAT YOU WERE EXPECTING

You might not have chosen the right paper type and print quality. Follow the steps in the procedure above, and try printing again.

Handy Hints

PROTECT YOUR TRANSPARENCIES

If you want to make notes on your trans- parency as you talk, print the transparency as a ﬂipped document (described on

page 18).

2Put the transparencies in your printer with the rough side down and the adhesive strip forward. (You can peel off the adhesive strip after printing.)

Rough side down

3Slide in the green paper adjusters, just as you would for plain paper. Push the IN drawer back in and ﬂip the OUT tray down.

4Print the transparency.

5Be patient.

Because the printer uses more ink, lays the colors down more slowly, and allows for a longer drying time between sheets, transparencies take a while to print.

AFTER PRINTING

■Change the paper type in the HP print settings box back to Plain Paper or to whatever is appropriate for what you’ll be printing next.

■Remove any remaining transparencies from the IN drawer and replace them with plain paper or whatever you’ll be using next.
