Transparent ink impressions Epson Stylus SX205

Solved

Hello,

I want to print an image on a transparent film so I can use it with a projector. I have an Epson Stylus SX205 and I bought printer-specific transparent sheets for inkjet printing. When I print, the film passes through and comes out blank, whether on the grainy side or the smooth side. Is there an option to enable somewhere?

Thank you so much for your answers!

    Hello,

    I came across your question while looking for a point-by-point answer to the same problem. I thought the printer doesn’t recognize the transparency because it’s too thin, and that may be the case. I added thickness by placing a ordinary sheet behind the smooth side of the transparency. I joined the transparency and the sheet with tape along the edges. And it worked well by selecting: Epson Photo Paper Glossy as the type. (it probably works with other papers as well if this one isn’t offered)

    There you go.

    Hello,

    I unfortunately have the same problem with a PX700W...

    I am waiting for a response from Epson.

    I have not yet used all the paper types offered in the dropdown menu.

    To be continued...
