  I have found these Overhead Projection transparency films produce
  grainy artwork,and if used develop pourous Photoresist finish.      

  A way to remedy this is to print Two of these grainy artwork sheets 
  at the same time,with the artwork in the same position on the Copier
  then expose the PCB using these two sheets together.
  The effect is that the grains of both sheets combine to give a better
  quality artwork,and the resulting PCB will have clean tracks without
  the small pits associated with tiny holes in the Photoresist
  The Quality of the Photocopier is a big factor also.

  Try it ,it works
