Hello,
I am about to submit an application for a photography program. They are asking for 20 pieces to be submitted on transparent pages. I don't have a lot of slides or anything - I mostly shoot digital. Does anyone know what a transparent page is? Any advice on printing from digital to a transparent page?
Here is what their site says:
* The portfolio should contain a representative selection of up to 20 prints and/or slides presented in transparent pages.
* Maximum print size for submission is 8x10. All works whether slides or prints must be clearly identified with your name.
* Do not submit works that are matted or framed.

| My guess either a) slides or b) transparencies for use on an over-head projector. |

| It could mean transparency paper like the stuff they use with overhead projectors. You should be able to get it in a good stationery shop. |

It's inconceivable that they are asking for transparencies for an overhead projector; few people have printers that can make them. I'm 100% certaint heyw ant the prints protected in plastic sleeves so they can pass 'em around and discuss 'em without crudding them up. It's standard.

Any laser printer or inkjet printer can make letter-sized transparencies suitable for overhead projection -- I've made hundreds for an anatormy teacher. You just have to get the right brand/type to match your printer. They're made by Epson, 3M, and most of the other printer/paper makers.
After they're printed, we put them in clear plastic sheet protectors/binder inserts ...

I understand what you're saying, but it's NOT a decent method for presenting art for judging, where color is so important. At least not in my opinion. Moot point anyway, they said "in" not "on"...

| Not what I'd submit to an art contest, but apparently the anatomical images project pretty well. Although more people are using LCD projectors these days ... content is editable up until the time it's presented. |

Yes, I also think they mean transparent 8 1/2 x 11 sleeves, frequently made up to fit a 3-ring binder. They are more commonly known as sheet protectors. If you go to one of the 'big box' stores, you will find they sell a container that will last you a very, very long time. Your prints will fit in these and will look good.
They also have 8 1/2 x 11 transparent slide protectors, that have slots for 20 slides per page. These also fit in a 3-ring binder.
P.S. Good luck in getting into the program.

Ummm... I might be reading this completely differently to everyone else, but I think what they mean is:
"20 prints"
and/or
"slides presented in transparent pages"
In other words, either submit prints (fine on their own) or slides (please put your slides in one of those transparent pages with all the little pockets in it). It saves them from having to pull them out to examine them.
I don't think that they were expecting prints in transparent pages.
My 2c.

| Whatever kind of sheet protectors you get make sure they are labelled as "archival" since some of those sold for preserving paperwork are not suitable for photo materials. |

Very good point. But I'd sleeve the prints anyway, I did it as a matter of course. They get beat up SO fast toherwise...

Hmmm...if you can't understand the application directions, then you fail the admissions test. Keeps the riff raff out you see.
I would go with the protective sleeve idea.
