Re: Printing negatives with Piezography black inks
Title: Re: Printing negatives with Piezography black inks BTW, Epson inks dry rather soft on the Photo Warehouse OHP, even
if you dry them for several days. I just dry overnight, and then cover
the emulsion with a piece of thin, clear mylar. I tape it down with
red litho tape, which also serves to mask off the printing area. Mask
by taping the mylar to the negative on two sides, then turn over
and tape just to the negative on the other. You need to leave an
opening for air to escape when you put this sandwich in the vacuum
frame.
Even with the mylar taped over the Photo Warehouse OHP printing
times are still about 1/2 stop faster than with Pictorico, and the
mylar protects the negative from further damage.

I used Cone's original piezo inkset in an Epson 1160 to make diginegs on Pictorico and had the same problem. Problem solved by a couple light coats of Krylon Crystal Clear Acrylic spray. This was done for printing gum bichromate where the texture imparted by the spray didn't matter. It could for other processes though.
