Printing foils with an inkjet printer - does it work?
In this practical tip, we will tell you whether you can also print OHP films with your inkjet printer.
Printing foils with an inkjet printer - is that possible?
- Not all foils are suitable for inkjet printers. When purchasing, make sure that use with inkjet printers is explicitly marked. Play it safe with universal foils that work in all printers.
- Using the wrong film can have fatal consequences. The foils can melt in laser printers and thus destroy the entire printer.
- The correct insertion of the foils is also extremely important. These can usually only be printed on one side. For information on how to insert the page correctly, see the packaging insert.
- You can get the foils either from office supplies or online, like here on Amazon, for around 15 cents per foil.
You ordered the right film, but now your printer is on strike? Your print cartridge may have dried out.
