These transparency sheets are thicker than other brands, and have a deeper grain on them. They hold ink better. The Office Depot brand is cheaper, but I lost time and money by using the off brand because the ink kept running.

In conclusion, using this brand could save you a lot of frustration; and in the long run they will save you money.

These transparencies by Hewlett-Packard are high-end products designed for hard tasks. They are hard, unlike most of other companies' products, which is good, as they wear out slower and are less prone to accidental damage. Also, the stripe is on the left, and not on the top, as in most generic transparencies. This may be important if you want to save space. Usually, the text of your presentation does not fill the entire horizontal space. You wnat as much of the vertical space as possible, and for this reason HP transparencies do a fine job. Pictures and colors look superb on this hard-surfaced transparency.

If you present papers less than once a month, consider buying HP. Go for quality.

The quality of HP premium inkjet transparency films is much better than other transparency films. They are thick and dry fast...

This product works wonderfully in my Epson Stylus Photo 1280 printer. I like the HP transparencies better than the Epson transparencies. Type is more crisp and colors are more accurate with the hp transparencies.

I used these for my designs for an at-home screen printing business. The prints were dark enough to block out light. They printed small details clearly and didn't smear or run. I used the sheets several times, kept them in a folder together. I would recommend separating sheets with tissue paper because they did get scratched up a bit and I had to use a sharpie to fix the scratches. I also had transparencies made at a chain office store and they did not come out as nice. Thick, high quality transparencies.

Product works. The ink does smear a bit if you use it to cut a template with a hobby knife.
I used it to create a template for an insulation piece in the sunroom. The original pieces were 1/2 inch thick. I went to 2 inches thick. I used Adobe Indesign and put together a 2 point dashed line around the foam board using the transparency to do it. I then cut the sheet of transparency on the dashed lines to form the template. Then I used a magic black marker to mark the foam board. In all I cut about 42 pieces of foam board. The one transparency was still strong when I got done. I did think the transparency should have been thicker but it did work. I don't think the HP ink should have smeared after it had time to dry. I probably used the wrong side.

Simply the best transparency film you can buy.

I use this product to create overhead designs I project on to walls, as an easy way to start a mural or painting. It's a great product for inkjet printers.

I bought this premium transparency film and had no problems using it in my old HP DeskJet. But then my HP DeskJet printer died and I bought an Epson Stylus C82.

These transparencies work like crap in the Epson, maybe by design? Instead of getting solid black areas, I get severe banding (tiny horizontal lines that ink doesn't stick to), making this stuff useless for the printed circuit board exposures I wanted to use it for. IBM transparencies work perfectly in the Epson printer, so I don't blame the printer, it's these HP transparencies.

Only buy these if you know you will only be using them on an HP printer!
