Worked on my "overlay scan" project. I am going to scan all my overlays, print and then laminate the copies. As it turns out if you scan something then print the scan, the colors shift. For my scanner & printer the color becomes redder. I performed a series of experiments to find an adjustment for the scanned images so that they come out fairly close when printed.
I am printing the copies on photo paper. In addition to printing on the front, I also print the overlay number on the back. Depending on the brand of paper the reverse side of photo paper may not be suitable for printing on. With some brands the reverse side does not accept ink like the front and just smudges off. I will have to try some coatings to see if I can fix this for the paper I have.
edit: it may be that the photo paper back takes a lot more time for the ink to dry. I will have to experiment some more.
