8.5' x 11' Waterproof Inkjet Transparency Film for Silk Screen Printing - 1 Pack (100 Sheets)

The sheets are veeeeerry slightly opaque but it doesn’t affect what I needed it for. Make sure you print on the side that is more textured or else they won’t work and also to set your printer to photo paper or glossy paper, that way the printer will adjust to reduce any chance of smearing. The ink dried quickly, no smearing whatsoever. The sheet has a nice weight so it’s not super flimsy. I taped the printed image on top of something and the tape gum stuck to the edges and didn’t come off because of whatever finish is on the film to keep the ink from smearing. I might print a reversed image next time so I can tape on the non-printable side and not have that issue.

I’m a pretty disappointed these are NOT completely transparent as advertised they are actually a milky white colour. My printer does print on them well however I can not use them for the purpose I originally planned.

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).

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.

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!
