Hewlett Packard used to make Overhead Transparency film, that was pretty
good and fast drying for use on HP Plotters. Conceivably you could use the
same stuff on the ImageWriters. The part numbers are 9270-1126 and 
9270-1131. It costs around $1 each sheet I think. They have a toll-free
telephone number you could call for more info - 800-538-8787.
Hope this helps.
