Default Trouble printing transparencies
I recently tried printing out an image onto a blank transpareny and the color came out perfect but it was off center. I fixed the placement and now every time I try printing onto another transparency the ink comes out blotchy. Any help is appreciated!

What type/brand of transparency are you using. What type/brand of printer?

You have to make sure you are using the right transparency for your printer. Transparencies are made for inkjets or lasers.

I'm using yudu transparencies that I bought at Michael's and I'm using a Kodak ESP-3 printer. The package says it is for ink jet printers so I'm not sure why I'm having this problem especially when my first print came out fine,
