Thats what I'm looking for but have not been able to find.  All the
stores and google'ing I've checked only sell transparent or colored
transparent sheets.  If anyone knows of a supplier of translucent/
opaque projector transparencies, please let me know and I will review
how well it works for laser printed button labels.  I have quite a few
buttons to do.

Thanks
