RE: Printing negatives with Piezography black inks
If you can wipe it off, you are using the wrong combination of ink and substrate. Cone's Piezotone inks will not adhere to OHP. You need to use the ultraclear material from Photo Ware House or some such product. And the K2 and K3 inks will not stick to it, so you need to use the OHP.

I have used QuadToneRIP to print a test negative with densities from 2 to 100 % (in 2% rising densities).The film is AGFA CopyJet (~Pictorico) and ColorGate. But before I can test the UV densities in practice,worse luck !,I can wipe off the Piezography ink very easy with the top of my finger. Am I doing something wrong ? If yes : what ...? How do you use Piezography K7 ink on film like Pictorico without the problem of whiping off it easy ? Erich Camerling
