Product: HP laser printer 107w
Operating System: macOS 11.0 Big Sur

Can I print onto OHP transparency film with my HP 107w mono print laser printer? If so, what film should I use? The first time I tried the film would not feed into the printer. After reading up on the subject I realised there was more to this than meets the eye. Any advice ?

A couple of tips:

 

1. Make sure that you set the paper type as transparency. This both reduces the heat to prevent melting and also slows the printer down to provide better feeding and bonding

2. Not all printers are rated to print on this media, you need to confirm on the media specs for your printer. The problem is that this media is fairly thick and requires consistent heat to ensure proper bonding. The specs here do not list transparency as supported. https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c06271567#AbT7

3. That aside, you may need to help feed the paper by gently pushing on it as it goes to feed.

Thank you for your help. Do you know which model's of printer can print on transparencies? I need to print out negative images on transparency film for cyanotype process artworks. So basically printing a negative image on film.
