One thing I should mention though is that using the inkjet transparency

the ink(I used the developer and it came right off. I'm not sure if it
would work with the toner though.)

Yeah, tell us how well it comes out after washing off the coating. ;-P

FYI, the transparency film I've ink-jet printed on came with a special
coating that retains the ink like paper does - bare mylar or acetate
will just smear. But, I don't know if it unconditionally destroys the
coating to erase or wash off the ink - try it and let us know, OK?

Good Luck!
