What is the best way to print quality transperencies? Ink? laser?

When i first started I used Inkjet but too many times i had smearing and shrinkage when the ink dried... so i switched to a Laser however didnt get the quality I really needed untill i switched to a paper called "LaserMax" its a polyester paper that is simular in apperance to vellium but its not vellium its polyester.... once i started printing with it I've never changed.... excellent film positives....I Laser print them then spray lightly with Toner Enhancer an let dry under a normal desk lamp.... havent had any smears and no shrinkage...

epsons are pretty good. You will need a rip programin order to print halftones. check out the packages here www.screenprinters.net/product_family.php?pid=fastripfamily
I purchased the 1800 as a back up if my imagesetter goes down. I would suggest getting the waterproof ink and films. They cost more but will hold up better than the cheaper versions.

Laser prints work well. I userd to print to a Xante many years back. You will go through quite a bit of toner and its not cheap.
www.xante.com (I believe it is)
Tubelight carries Deltas laser Film. This worked well for us when we printed to the Xante for films.

we have an epson printer also- and we got *special* printer's vellum that's coated to reduce bleeding/smearing/unfun things...

they're long (much longer than 'legal' sized paper) and so far, we've never had any problems. we actually run ours through twice- that's how acurate our model is- which isn't anything too high end.

epson printers have been good to us.
