Change the setting on your printer to print on transparencies. If you don't know
click on print
Click on pPreferences
Click on Paper/Quality
Click on Media
Click on transparancy films
Give it a minute for the ink to dry on the transparency. Thats what I do

I wouldn't have thought so - depends on what you want to do. If you are using a printer - you would have to use inkjet acetates so that the ink sticks.

And make sure you print on the right side of the film - the ink goes on the 'rough' side !
