transparencies

[Kath]

Hi!

What does creating actual physical overhead transparencies of a PowerPoint
presentation entail? Does the designer of the presentation need to hand her
file off to a commercial printer in order to have the transparencies created,
or can she feed transparencies into her “dumb printer†in order to print them
right at her office?

My PowerPoint experience involves only creating presentations used on a
computer, so I would like to know what to do in case the transparency
scenario arises. Thanks.

Most office supply stores have blank transparency sheets designed for printing
on injet or laserjet printers. You'll find them in the paper section that
includes photo paper, blank greeting cards, labels, etc.

I just wasn't sure how "dumb" the printer was. <G>

Thanks. I forgot to ask ... How about 35mm slides? How are they handled?

You'll need a slide service bureau to print those 35mm slides. Unless you
want to spring for tens of thousands of dollars worth of equipment, that is!

 

[TAJ Simmons]

If you can beg/borrow a melted wax type of printer (like the

Tektronix/Xerox Phaser
series) go for it. They tend to produce the most saturated, richly
colored
transparencies.

Yeah, they are good for trannies!

Greetings!

If Bud or anyone else could help me with this, I'd greatly appreciate it!
(In fact, THANK YOU to all of you who have helped me with my past and recent
posts.)

I don’t understand the first sentence of Bud’s post. Judging from looks of
the remaining sentences of his post, I think I’ll understand his post
completely once someone clarifies the first sentence.

Thanks again!

I think that "but" should be "buy".
