RR Transparency PET Inkjet Film

Transparency film and Epson 5000

The effect of the 11x17 transparency film was good/predictable. For this project I printed a layer at 60% opacity. This trasnparency print was combined with and placed above an 11x17 full color layer on another RedR paper. The final product was a handstitched book interleaving the transparent print on top of a full color print. The problem was the printer skewed the transparent film ever so slightly by 2 millimeters. This prevented the two 11x17 to be matched Squarely edge to edge.

The second issue was transport of the film thru Epson's rollers. It was often trapped and halted in the rollers and had to be evacuated from the back of the hundred pound printer. MY solution was to put 3 normal sheets of paper under neath the film in the paper cassette. This completely solved each film being picked up by Epson transport rollers to make it to the printing stage successfully. AJZ

This product worked well in my Canon prograf II. . When I purchased the printer, it would not recognize completely clear inkjet films. The red River film is translucent and works well with the printer as well as my silkscreen projects

I’ve just started working with this and want to eventually produce clear imaging under plexiglass with a frosted back. Very happy so far with it.

Awesome for cyanotype!

Hey this film is fantastic for cyanotype contact negatives! I've been printing them with my Epson ET-8550 (dye-based, OEM inkset) and the ink density is more than sufficient for cyanotype exposure. And I love that it comes in a roll, so that I can cut different sizes as needed.

Great for making prints to put in the window

I was interested in making some backlit prints with this material. My idea is to use double glass frames to hang in the window so the sun shines through the print. I made one print so far of a forest scene and it looks nice against the window. you can get a set of 6 or 8 4x6 double glass frames for $50 or so on Amazon if you are interested in doing this also.I had to disable the 'paper width check' setting in my Canon Pro-1100 to get it to print. I believe the printer uses a sensor that has a hard time reading the width of the transparent media. Disabling the setting made it work perfect.You must take care not to touch the surface of this material with anything damp prior to printing. Gloves are helpful.The result was an awesome print. I am excited to experiment with this material.
