RE: dying printer

[Loris Medici <mail@loris.medici.name>]

I use HP9180. It's nice for digital negatives but it doesn't work with  
Ultrafine (at least IME): it's so transparent that the printer can't  
see it and refuses to load it + I get pizza wheel marks + it gives  
considerably less UV blocking than Pictorico (couldn't get paper white  
with pure pop pd for instance). It works wonderfully with Pictorico.  
(It gives me slightly more grain my old dye based 1290 though...) And  
finally the printer is wonderful for positive color prints on  
Hahnemuehle Photo Rag. (On the other hand, I haven't tried it for  
positive B&W prints...)

Regards,
Loris.
