Apollo Transparency

I just bought some Apollo Transparencies for LaserJet today. The class I
was taking was using 3M and ran out so I went and got some of the Apollo
because I heard it mentioned here.

I'm wondering how it compares to the 3M, etc. The Apollo is coated for
greater adhesion, but this coating can get smeared when moistened. Is this
to be expected and do other products not smear?

I also notice some lines on the transparency after coming out of the
printer. These looked like scratch lines from dragging against something
in the printer. I haven't check my resulting prints yet to see if the
lines transferred, but I was doing photopolymer prints and the lines might
have gotten submerged in the ink.

What are other peoples experiences with different transparency materials?
