Hey everyone...

New to this forum here but have learned a lot already by going through the different topics.

I have question that I havent seen in any other threads;

We use delta laser film 11x17 and 13x18 but they seem pretty expensive (about a buck a sheet). I there anyone that knows a distributor that has similar films but less costly? Been searching the web but there are tons of suppliers out there with tons of different types of films etc.

Appreciate any input from any of you!
Thanks
Ray

Get mine from Sihl. Comes on a 3' roll, at least for my purposes. Print on an Epson 9500.

Using a laser you have to use VERY stable film.

The heat used to fuse the toner can distort
cheap transparncies. Go buy some from
Office Depot and you'll see what I'm talking about.

We were going to sell laser film and at $1 a sheet for a 13x18, that's not a bad price for good quality film. At the moment we only sell waterproof inkjet film for $1.75 a sheet and as low as $1.45 a sheet. So the price for the laser film probably doesn't look so bad. ;)
