RE: Quality of Inkjet negs
Philippe, I agree with Eric here. Using the 2880 setting does make a difference. Other factors include resolution of the image (360ppi is recommended) and Media Setting (different settings lay down different quantities of ink). I've been using digital negatives for almost a year now. I've seen problems like the one you mentioned (among many others), and the fix has always been a matter of adjusting the print settings. A correctly printed negative shouldn't show any grain on the Pictorico.
