Judy, the best material I have used to print desktop negatives on is
Pictorico OHP transparency film. This material has a special ceramic
coating which takes inkjet ink very well without a lot of dot gain
(bleeding). It also seems to dry very well.
Refer to:

I learned of this material at a forum in which Dan Burkholder was a
speaker last fall. At that time, this was the best material Dan had
found as well.
Believe it or not, the best price I have found for this stuff has been
at amazon.com!
Good luck with your desktop negatives!
