It doesn't say what side to print on, and when I printed information using this product on an HP all in one printer - it didn't dry overnight and as a result - smeared when carried to presentation location! Wasted time and money on this product - [$] is a lot to waste! Only use this if you want to wash it away after printing- cannot carry this to the location without damage to printed information!! so sad...

Universal Transparency isn't universal

About Me Frequent User

Pros

  • It's something we need

Cons

  • But ink jets smear a lot

Best Uses

    Comments about Universal Transparency Film by 3M, CG5000, 50/Pack:

    I'd love to have a product that can be used for an ink jet printer and that wouldn't turn to paste when it got wet, and I hoped this was the answer, but the product had wet ink for over a day, and the ink ran to make all edges runny.
