Building my Maiden, I've opted to use all those wonderful transparencies. But, while building the deckworks I found I had put some small smears in those big decklight panels. (Might have been done while I was building the decks but didn't realize it until after the decks were finished.) Found some smears on the windows, but I've reprinted those... and yes, I've let the sheets sit to let the ink dry for a couple of days on their own.
So my question is: What do you use as a spray portector on the transparency sheets to prevent smearing?
Thanks in advance gang.

I still haven't finished the Maiden build...
But, the transparencies I printed out were dried and not smudging literally as they came out of the printer. I bought inkjet transparencies, and printed on the rough side of the paper.
I know this probably isn't helpful to your question, and others might be able to help with maybe a spray protector. But I thought maybe if you're not using inkjet transparencies (or printing on the wrong side) others will be able to see this and know that special treatment of inkjet transparencies (at least in my case) is not necessary.

Just a thought, I have not done any of the transparencies but I wonder if using the spray that used for decals would work?
I have made my own decals for a few minis and things and you print them on water slide decal paper and when they are dry you spray them with a Testors sealant spray. It keeps the ink from running under water so I would think it would work for what you need it for.

I would think that any spray coat would work, but I would test it: The most likely problem would be clouding of the transparency. So I'd take an unprinted corner and spray that lightly. If it doesn't cloud, you're probably ok for the printed sheets (but I'd still do one and make sure it's ok before doing the others).

Edit: Just to be clear, I haven't tried this which is why I'm suggesting a test.

Thanks for the quick responses so far guys, it's appreciated.
@mproteau: Although a I now have a somewhat more modern HP color laserjet 3500 (my friend upgraded his entire system from tower to printer, he upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7, which didn't want to work with his 3500) which works like a charm - and so fast! - I replaced one magenta cartridge only to find that it was really hungry and before I could print anything at all it wanted both cyan and black cartridges as well! So while having to wait to work these into the budget, I've had to resort back to my good-ol' semi-portable standby HP PSC 1209.
So I purchased the transparencies for regular copiers. I did not have any trouble with the ink smearing as it came out, though I did end up smudging the top of one of the ratline sheets because I accidently laid something atop it. It was while I was working with the stuff on the table that the smearing occurred to which I refered.
And I didn't know that there was a difference between the transparency sides - so I will look closer before I load up next time. Live and learn - it's why we get out of bed in the morning, right? Other than to get to the coffee pot and urinal - LOL... and bend paper!
Thanks again.
