Default Do you print your own transparencies?

If so, where do you get them without breaking the bank?? I love the look and want to use them in my Dec Daily.

Tia!

I bought some off amazon a while back... I don't think they were too expensive, but can't remember exactly what they cost.

Do you mean the pre-printed/decorated one? Or just general ones that you can staple/glue stuff to? Last year I ended up buying a package of those old school report covers and cutting them in half. Worked out pretty well actually. I KNOW I had normal ones that you can print on, but I lost them and they were WAY to expensive to buy again.

I wanted to print on them myself, I haven't seen any already printed that I just love. LOVE the idea of using the report covers though, that will make a great page divider!!

yeah, I ended up shelling out the bucks for them trying to use every little piece of them too... like small flowers and stuff because they cost so much... I got mine at Amazon

you might try asking at your local print center, I think my office depot sells them individually as well, and prints black and white versions for something like .60 a page, so it can't hurt to ask. I wanted to do color transparencies so I just ordered a big pack

I bought mine a few years ago at Office Max. I think they were like $45 for a pack of 50 which at the time seemed like a lot, but really that's like .90 a sheet which is around what most scrapbooking paper costs. Would have been nice if they'd sold them in smaller amounts though.

The good thing is I've been using that same box for several years now so at least it lasts awhile, haha.

I am fortunate to have some left over from when I taught and I used an overhead projector. They are not the thick ones but will work great in my printer. I found three boxes of them when we moved!!!!
