Default Can you touch transparencies? NEWBIE!

Ok I am a newbie and was thinking about this while screwing around with some Transparencies.

How sensitive are they? I dont see why you can't handle them crazily...The actual sheet after printed on...


Thanks!

yes you can handle them......but if you arent using the water proof films..the ink might not be dry right away..so be careful...I use the waterproof rfilm from ryonet...dries instantly....

It's just good practice to keep clean, and it's a good idea to keep them away from water, but other than that... yeah, it's generally not a big deal. They're robust.

Use waterproof film -they should be OK if you don't make planes with them, I find that they don't crease well enough for origami. :-)
