What settings should I use to print on overhead projector film - it's not an option offered on my Officejet 8620 paper menu.

All my attempts have resulted in a wet print that smudges even after an hour or two of drying time.

Yes, I know, I know - who uses overhead projectors and film slides these days?  Answer - the old fogey who also gets out his quill pen from time to time :).

The ink will not dry no matter what setting you are using. That film is not supported, you will need to find an alternative.

Thank you so much Valsimot - I remember now that when I was using the film in the past, it was with a laser printer - which worked fine.  But of course inkjet on film is never going to work - silly me for trying!!  Thank you for replying so helpfully.
