Hi Kath (welcome!), Amelia, John, et al - thanks for the input.

Actually, Amelia, overheads are very much in demand in the classroom -
much moreso even than slides, from what I've seen and heard from
educators.

Wonder if the film itself has much effect on the outcome of the quality
- I know you have to be careful about what you put in what machine. I
don't think printing on vinyl would allow for the fine resolution needed
for detail. I'm almost to the point of just simplifying the artwork -
even converting to line.

A laser print made from a digital file is better than my Epson print,
but I wonder if copying directly from a print would somehow give better
results?

Kath, what type on transparency film do you use with what copier?

And Frank and guys, what's this about putting WATERCOLOR paper in
copying machines and printers?!! Doesn't that ruin the drums?

Thanks, Cindy
