Print media transparency

Abstract

A transparency for receiving images generated by a printing device wherein the transparency includes a clear base film substrate. The substrate includes also a pair of surfaces wherein an inkjet receptive coating is disposed on one of the pair of surfaces and a laser receptive coating is disposed on another one of the pair of surfaces. The transparency includes at least one edge having disposed adjacent thereto a control strip having indicia for generating a signal indicative of which of said pair of surfaces is in position for printing by the printing device. The control strip can be disposed on the substrate surface that includes the inkjet receptive coating or on the substrate surface that includes the laser receptive coating. The invention includes a method of constructing a transparency utilizable in both inkjet and laser printers and a method of substantially eliminating curling in a printed transparency.
