Bob,

That's the downside-- Pictorico doesn't make this in 17x22, unfortunately. I can't figure out why they don't. I also used this other transparency that Don also recommended-- DAS. I'm not home now, so don't have the information, but it's Digital Art Supplies-- you can Google it. Their transparencies are also excellent, and they make it in the larger sizes. The price is comparable to Pictorico. I only buy the Pictorico Premium-- I'm not sure what the Ultra Premium does, but I'm sure somebody here has used it. It sure sounds better, doesn't it??

DEAR DON, CHRIS, & DIANA,
Two more questions:
1) On the Pictorico web site I see Premium and Ultra Premium. What
is the difference and which to your recommend.
2) As I need to make 16X20 prints I need the 17X22 film but I don't
see if on the Pictorico site. Am I missing something?
CHEERS!
BOB

Hi Bob,

I second Don. Pictorico is wonderful. It is now cheaper, too--20 sheets
for what used to be 15 in a packet of 8.5x11. I just finished a project that

required me to print about 140 negatives and I had nary a problem. And I
figure at $1 a sheet, that's only $3 per gum print and with all the time I
put into gum that isn't so big a deal.

Pictorico.com but I think Mitsubishi now owns it or something...
Chris

DEAR DON,
Thanks for the quick reply! A few questions:
1) Which of the two do you prefer, Pictorio or Inkpress?
2) From which supplier do you prefer to buy the Pictorio?
CHEERS!
BOB

Bob,

Since price isn't a consideration go for Pictorico OHP. Or you may wish to
try Inkpress Transparency:
