Re: laser printer for diginegs



I'm interested in laser printer negatives too. How one does manage to
not get moire effect (negatives are halftone!) when making multi-layer
prints from one negative?

Sorry for your printer David. I was printing a nozzle check each 2-3
days even if don't use it (and never run the cleaning procedure  - if
it needed - more than twice in a row) + I always used Epson brand
ink/cartridges -> it never gave me a problem keeping that routine...

Regards,
Loris.
