Arista II OHP Ultra Clear 5-mil Transparency Film is a polyester substrate coated with inkjet emulsion that can accept dye or pigment ink. It delivers crisp text and brilliant colors. Great for creating overhead transparencies, creating screens for screen printing and recommended by Freestyle for alternative digital output methods like alcohol gel (Purell) transfers. Each sheet has a notch cut in the upper right hand side. Holding the media in this direction insures that you insert it into your printer emulsion side up. For jobs that require more image density, like digital negatives for Platinum and Palladium Printing, Freestyle recommends our classic, 7-mil, Arista II OHP Transparency Film. It has a heavier base and a waterproof emulsion.

Tip: All inkjet film and paper can be subject to humidity. If you see your inkjet film curling please follow these steps to assist in flattening before printing:
Place clean white typing paper between several sheets and roll them backwards on a cardboard tube and let them rest a day before printing on them. This will act as a D-Roller and help to flatten the curl.
Make sure to select the correct media type. If your printer has the ability to adjust the platen gap, decrease it.
Apply a 1” wide piece of artist tape to the back side of the leading edge of the film when feeding it into your printer.
