Default What printer for film output?

Do I need a special printer for film transparency output?

I've got an HP laser printer and an inkjet. Will these work?

Thanks!

They'll work, but they won't necessarily work well. If you're only doing relatively simple work you can always double up your film.

I used and Epson C88 with Ryonet Waterproff R-Film on the Gloss Photo / Best Photo setting and got great film without having to double-up transfers. Initially, I did have to double print when I used the stuff from Office Depot and another supply house I get inks from. I now use an Epson 1400 so I don't have to splice the film together.

Try Ghosescript if you want to do halftones......

Good luck...
