transparent recommendation?

by mc_user . Updated 19 years, 3 months ago

Is there a source to go to to find the correct transparency media for a specific printer? I am having difficulty trying to find the recommendations for transparencies for a Dell 3000cn and Dell 5100cn color laser printers.

I work as tech support for a high school and we have teachers who want to print transparencies. I am scared of the teachers loading the wrong brand or quality transparency into a printer having it melt. This happened once already with a copier.

Luckily the Canon photocopier they tried to use was still under warranty so we didn’t have to pay when it needed to be rebuilt. The wrong transparency media fused it together. We now know the specific brand to use for this device. But I want specifics for all of the other printers.

So far all I can find from Dell is to make sure that transparencies are laser (color/laser) rated and to verify that the printer (on the printer’s control panel) is set to transparencies.

Any suggestions?
