Could you photocopy the pricking on blue paper, and cover with the clear film?
I too have used the highlighter method to make my pattern colored but would > prefer blue film... FWIW I don't care for the blue film at all, and usually work on a white paper pricking that I've covered with matte magic tape,. Though I mostly use coloured threads, I do this for white thread, too (for Honiton where I work on firm brown card).
