RE: best film for 3800 PT/PD negs

[ender100 <ender100@aol.com>]

Bob,

I forgot to mention that currently the 3800 is my favorite printer for making inkjet negatives.  The printer has a lot of wonderful features and the new head technology and dither technology gives extremely smooth print tones.  I usually run an automatic print head allignment using the Pictorico.

This printer also makes great color prints, but to me, in addition to making great negatives, the Advanced Black & White (ABW) feature is my favorite feature of this printer—it makes incredibly good toned black and white prints!

Enjoy your new printer!

Note:  I just got a mailing from Calumet showing a 10% discount on all inks and papers.  :)

Best Wishes,

Mark Nelson

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
