Printing on Transparencies

For best results when printing your overhead presentation, use HP Premium Inkjet Rapid-Dry Transparencies. The film coating on HP Premium Inkjet Rapid-Dry Transparencies has been especially developed to work with HP inks, giving you crisp images and text, and the fastest drying times. They won’t jam your printer, either. Look for them at large office supply stores.

1In the HP print settings box, click the Setup tab. Click the Select Paper Type button, then select Transparency Films and the appropriate selection (either HP Premium Inkjet Transparency Film, HP Premium Inkjet Rapid-Dry Transparencies, or Other Transparency Films). Click Best as the print quality. (Go to “Finding the HP Print Settings Box” on page 26.)

Transparencies need longer drying times than regular paper. The printer dries them automatically before it releases them. Press the Resume button on the front of your printer to continue printing.

It isn’t absolutely necessary to use the Best print quality, but it gives the best results. You can get terrific results, with faster printing, by using the Normal print quality.

2If you plan to make notes on your transparencies during your presentation, in the HP print settings box, click the Features tab. Select Flip Horizontal.

3Flip up the OUT tray for a better view of the IN tray.

4Put the transparencies in your printer with the rough side down and the adhesive strip

toward the printer. (You can peel off the adhesive strip after printing.)

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

6Print the transparency.
