I use transparencies on an overhead projector to demonstrate concepts, pictures, definitions, etc., while I am delivering speeches to large and small groups. They are easy to make. Just create a master copy by cutting and pasting pictures, or text using word processing, then run through a copy machine. The finished product is clear and shows well throughout many room sizes.

I wish that Staples carried their own brand of Transparency film. I was forced to pay [$] for 100, because that is all you carried at the store.I also wanted to purchase fax paper on the rolls for a Sharp copier/phone/Fax and you did not carry that in the store. Give opportunity to purchase at a lower cost, more people can afford. Thank you
Comments about Transparency Film For Plain-Paper Copiers by 3M, PP2500, 100/Pack:
We use the transparency film for our children's choirs, our Wednesday night Creekside Children's Program, our Women in the Church ministry "Over the Coffee Cup" ministry and women's retreats. Our Student Ministry program uses the transparencies for their Home Mission Week Projects, Student Bible Studies, Backyard Bible Clubs, for music sheets for their Wednesday night programs. We also use them for our Vacation Bible School songs during the large group time. We have also used them to do bulletin boards to blow up items to trace on bulletin boards. Missionaries use them for mission reports. They are used very often by our church.

We use the transparancies for our Children's Ministry programs (Vacation Bible School, Playschool, Easter Celebration, Reformation Celebration, Etc.) throughout the year. We also use them in our Fellowship Hall for special events and music programs. We have used them in teacher traning sessions, youth events at the church and on youth retreats. Our choir has used them to teach a new song to the congregation. We have not had any problems with these transparancies. We would gladly recomend this product to anyone.

It was perfect for overhead projector presentation - printed well, (once I found a printer that would accept it)and could write on it as I presented! Wished I could've bought a pack of 25 sheets instead of 100.

Q:
I work at an elementary school. We have many boxes of 3M PP2500 Transparency Film left over from years ago. We hate to throw them out - but can not use them in our new copier. Can they be used in smaller laserjet printers? Thank you,
These where mfg. for copiers only. They will not work with inkjet printers.

A:
I use them in my LaserJet 5 and LaserJet 4000 without problems. Although, they will not work in an inkjet. Copiers and laser printers are similar in design. There is always a risk that the transparency can melt in the printer.
The sensing strip is a optic in the copier that looks to a sensor, if there is paper in the machine then the optic is covered signaling the printer to print. If the copier does not have a sensing strip, it will try to pull paper whithout any paper being in the tray.
