The HP 560C can't print more than 10" on an 11" page, due to the feed mechanism.
So the best you can do is 8x10, allowing for 1/4" margins on all sides but the
bottom (where you can't get anything better than a 3/4" margin.)

Also, HP makes glossy paper specifically for inkjet printing that is only about
$1 per page if you buy a pack of 50 sheets, so it's competitive with the 
"transparency with the backing left on" method and slightly easier to work with
when it comes time to frame it.
