RE: HP B9180 for digital negatives
I'm not Sandy but I can say that it works perfectly with Pictorico. I just tested it with POP Palladium (LiPd) so far (using color G255 B010) and the results were good. The only problem is -> it's hard to load the sheets into the printer.

Can you tell me where I can find them ? In a German magazine I found a test about the B9180.They wrote that the printer makes most noise of all the tested A3 printers,used most power : 38 watt,but was by far the cheapest in printing. BUT :THEY COULD NOT PRINT ON FILM !! Every time they tried to do that it became a mess.They even advised HP to remove the word "transparantfolie" (film) from their specifications ! (But they didn't specify what sort of film it was,maybe it was film for an overhead projector.)What film did you use for your tests ? Erich
