3M CG 3480 Universal Inkjet Transparency Film

I use this product to print photo negative enlargements to print on fabric. These are great for that purpose. The box contains clear instructions for how to print with them. Just be sure you print on the rough side. If you print on the shiny side, they'll never dry. If you do accidentally print on the wrong side, you can remove the ink with rubbing alcohol and reuse them. Ask me how I know that ;-)

Works fine (always the case for 3M products) --and the price was right (unusual for 3M products).I miss not seeing the old full name: "Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing" behind the 3M label. Long ago, when 3M was trying to get on its feet, representatives were working the beer joints on St. Paul's old East Side where my dad liked to hang out --drumming up small investors.

I purchased these inkjet transparencies for creating digital negatives to print in the darkroom. I love this brand and it captured the prints in nice even tones. This is beneficial for when you are working in the darkroom.

I opened this product to find that all the transparencies had some kind of beading up on the tacky side of the film , rendering it completely useless for screenprinting. and unfortunately, I opened it too late to return it. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT FOR SCREENPRINTING. total rip-off.

These won't feed in my Epson printer. I have to cut them at least 1.5 inches narrower than printer paper and scotch tape the leading edge to a regular sheet of paper to get them to feed. This works for my use, though it wastes lots of transparencies. They're expensive, so next time around I'll be trying a different brand.

I have a Canon Inkjet Pro9000 wide format and a Canon MP990. My results are excellent on both with preference settings on plain paper and high print quality. I also double check that I am printing on the coated side of the transparency. My two printers feed differently and I accidently printed on the uncoated side a couple of times. In this instance the ink will not dry but you can wipe it off and reuse the transparency.

This was very cheap transparency which is basically why I bought it. If you are doing something with a lot of blacks then you will probably want to spring for the more expensive brands. But if you aren't using too much saturated color it works pretty well.

I got this to display "adventure" pretend play for my daughter. She LOVES projecting fish and beluga whales, and an image of a waterfall or walking on the moon onto the wall and "painting" it by placing glass beads all over the projector. These hold up to the rough touch of a 2 year old and took the ink well. Couldn't have asked for more I suppose.
