Is there any particular make you would recommend?

No Harry Sir apart from using the ones for laser printers. The other on ink jet are in need of additional fixation. Just buy a couple of those slides in DIN A4 format. I have done this with great result but am not allowed to speak about it. Just pm me and I will be happy to help you with some more advise.

Strange how one has to rub the back paper off after setting it in place. And even the use of that glue seems unnecessary to me. The ones I have used were much more easy to apply. In need of a coat of varnish, too, but only afterwards...

i think it is because this is printed on regular paper. Not the water paper transfers which is dead easy
