Re: Poor man's negatives



Jacek,

I use a Epson R800 with a special ICC profil for my R800 and the OHP PIctorico
The result is very good

Hi all,

I purchased some Golden digital ground from my art supplier. Its
called Non Porus Digital ground, it comes in clear. So I tried it on
some sheets of 75 micron melinex and acetate.
You apply it in one direction first. Let it dry. Then apply it on
another direction. Let it dry. So only 2 coats.
Printed it on a R800, use the matte setting in the driver.

Problems!
The image does get applied on the transparency, though if your brush
strokes are uneven the image degrades in that area.
Plus with my R800 I had an issue with the roller feeder leaving roller
marks on the coat, before the printer head got to it.
Is prone to any slight touching, it smudges the print, no matter how
long you left it to dry! :)
Any dust gets trapped in the coating.

So why would you use this? No idea! Well its more of the fact that
this can't be used in any fashion to give you better or equal results
to normal inkjet transparencies.

There would be other methodologies on brushing better, and perhaps
even fixing the ink so it doesnt get smudged, with a varnish, gel etc.

InkAid also sell a digital ground.

Cheers,
Jacek
