I don’t know want to use them on Overhead Projectors. I need it to change the color of light for a science project. I need blue, green, and red. Purple is okay too instead of blue.
I know there’s a Michaels and AC Moore where I live. There’s Office Depot and Staples, as well. Help?

For my Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain course, Betty Edwards includes a view finder containing an Overhead Projector sheet as one of the materials. I assumed any sheet of plastic (i.e. a plastic sleeve made for a binder) would work, but now I discovered she wants the reader to write on it using a white board marker (and wipe it off afterwards). Any ideas on how I can get a one or two overhead projector sheets, or else, are there any easy alternatives?
All the packs I’ve seen are $50+ (in Australia).
Try an art store. You can often buy individual sheets of various kinds of paper and other materials.
The ghetto way would be to scour your home for transparent plastic from product packages and see if any of them work. Lots of things come wrapped in clear plastic, especially electronics. For example, a brand new laptop usually has a clear plastic film over the LCD for protection which would probably be ideal.

Is there a simple (and cheap!) way to make an Overhead Projector for showing some transparency images on my wall? I figure all I’d really need is a light box underneath with a mirror and lens over it to project the image. Were could I find a lens to use (if this method would even work of course)? Would this produce clear images or would it be fuzzy?
those projectors had special lens on base, and the upper part had two lens’s. along with super brite projector lens.
I am willing to bet there are a lot of schools that have a storage room full of them.

Is there a way to view my TI calculator (either ti-89 titanium or ti-84 plus) through my lcd projector? I have one of the Overhead Projector attachments, but I know longer use the overhead. I would like to show everyone what’s exactly on my screen through the projector.
turn on your email0- I’m an ELCA memebr too and the church has lost a lot of members over the last 10 years.

ive got to present a magazine pitch to my COM class and i figured if i created a cover for the magazine it’d win some extra points. the problem is we only have an Overhead Projector to use. the professor supplied us with transparent sheets so im wondering if its possible to use a regular printer to print onto the transparent sheet. helpppp please!
Wow! Dark ages!
Ask your professor for a slate.
Or maybe papyrus.

I need to make a presentation but don’t want to go for the same old Powerpoint presentation format that everyone uses. Not too keen on Overhead Projector either as this seems a rather dated way of doing it. Any suggestions of a quirky alternative to powerpoint?
I’ve done this before - it takes skill and time but Macromedia Flash can blow every powerpoint presentation out of the water.

I am designing holiday characters to place in my yard using plywood. I would like to avoid using an Overhead Projector and transparencies. Any suggestions? (I am not artistic and cannot free hand these).
go to wal-mart and buy a pantograph… read the instructions very carefully. i bought one but its kind of a pain to use. i buy my plans and they come full sized. maybe you could take a drawing or picture of what you want to a copier place and have them blow it up . take that page and cut it into quarters and have those pages enlarged and so on until you get to the size you want then tape them together …

I’m trying to show the same image to my PC monitor and an Overhead Projector. If I use a Y splitter it degrades the image. So I have two video cards; but I can only extend the desktop to the projector instead of showing the exact same image. Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks!
Go to your display properties and uncheck ‘extend desktop’. if using a laptop, there is a function key (HP is F4, but on others it should be the one with the monitor screen on it) that will toggle through how the display’s are handled ie; laptop only, extended monitor and extended monitor & laptop display. You have to hold down your Function key and hit the F4 to do the toggleing. If it is your desktop, you need to find the same combination of function keys. Also, make sure that you display property monitors are positioned correctly on the test area. Two video cards I don’t think will do it, could be wrong on that.

I am doing a project and I need a to scale map of Isreal in the time of Jesus. I need something I can print so as to draw onto a piece of bristol board. I guess I can just use an Overhead Projector to get the image onto my bristol board I am finding it hard to get a picture or map to scale. Any help would be appreciated thank you .
Most Bibles have scale maps in the back. See if one has a scale map and copy it from there.
