Xpress M2026

Hi, I would like to create a master on transparent sheet to expose a PCB to UV rays. Can I use the Samsung Xpress M2026 laser printer to print on transparent sheets, such as OHP acetate sheets or other types for laser printing? If yes, which product do you recommend? Thank you, see you soon.

Hi,

The printer does not support transparencies media.

 

You may find any supported tye listed under the Media types section below:

You mostly need to ensure that the material is designed for Laser printers so that the heat of the fusing process does not melt the sheets. Also make sure that you set the paper type to transparency when printing.

You are right. I found the transparency sheet for laser printers but this type of sheet is not in the supported sheet type list of the printer configuration. Do you think that I can try them anyway without risks?

You will most likely run into a jam situation due to the photosensors seeing through the transparency sheet. Transparency paper type will turn off those sensors and bring the fuser to a lower temp to make sure it doesn't melt. I would not try it in this machine.
