Re: Epson 3800 [pigment over alt process overprinting]
Hi, why not underprint the pigment image? That way you get easy registration, and I think the 3800 inks will not contaminate the emulsion (when thoroughly dried before overprinting). I have tried this so far with cyano overprinting, both with Epson 1800 and 3800.
