5 Print your transparencies.
Use HP Premium Inkjet Transparency Film, which is specifically designed to work with your
HP printer. See
“HP supplies and accessories” for part numbers and ordering information.
Use Best mode to print transparencies. This mode provides a longer drying time and ensures
that the ink dries completely before the next page exits the printer.
It is recommended to remove each transparency as it prints and set it aside to dry. Allowing
wet media to stack up may cause smearing.
