Explanation:
Can't say I disagree with Bill's answer above but would say that "unprofessional" is too emotional here.

My 2 cents:

Users/customers can use/have used transparencies that are (manufectured) for use in non-professional photocopiers.

Unprofessional tends to refer to manners, in which you don't want to be treated.

neutral  David Shen: The first part of your understanding is right, not intended for professional use. But the second part, the term 非专业 refers to both the type of photocopier and the transparencies used.
