Question Ink-jet vs. Laser printer...

Hello Everyone!

I have a question regarding printers... What kind of printer should I have when printing an image onto transparency film (for screen burning)? According to screen printing videos, laser printers work best. I already have an ink-jet, and just need to get the transparency film to get things going... The film seems very expensive, so before buying it, I am considering exchanging my printer for a laser version. Please share your expert advise, thank you in advance! Appreciate it...

Either type of printer will work, you just need the right film. I personally use an inkjet printer for my transparencies.

Check out the preferred vendors list on the left. They will have some of the better prices for the film.
