Email exact margins for transparencies to fit overhead projector

[Guest]

Which are the exact STANDARD MARGINS for the transparencies to fit the
overhead projector light zone frame?

I know how to reduce the margins.

All I need is the EXACT STANDARD MARGINS for the transparencies to fit the
overhead projector light zone frame.

light zone frame = The glass through which the light comes out to project
the images on the sreen.

Victor,

A question: is there an EXACT STANDARD measurement of all overhead
projector light zone frames? I suspect not. See, for instance, the
offerings at http://www.3m.com/ ... their OHP stages are from 10 inches
square to 11.25 inches square. That's a lot of leeway. And that's just
one manufacturer.

My suggestion would be to take a blank transparency, marker, and
straightedge to a projector which you know your format must fit. Tape
the acetate down, draw concentric rectangualr zones from the outside in
until you feel the innermost rectangle gives you sufficient viewable
margin, and use that measurement.

More advice at
http://www.sscnet.ucla.edu/classes/econta/traditional.htm See
"Designing transparencies" about halfway down.

It's a fudgy, inexact world, Victor. Best of luck.

This was the most acurate answer beside the other two I got.

Thanks!
