Re: laser printer for diginegs
David,
I don't think you are going to be real happy with laser output for
digital negatives, unless you are fine with a bitmapped negative. It
depends on what kind of work you do, the process and the look you are
going for.

Hi all,
Well, my epson 1290 has bitten the dust, bought the farm, snuffed
it, shook a seven..etc and not before time I'm thinking. The amount
of ink wasted trying to clear blocked nozzles would probably have
put several children through university! In its defence though I
often left it for several weeks between prints. Which is why I'm
considering a laser printer instead of an inkjet.
I was wondering if anyone uses a laser printer to make digital negs
as I don't think these (laser printers) have the same problems with
blocked nozzles if left idle for weeks. I'm loath to replace the
1290 with another expensive colour inkjet only to have it block up
again. If so what do you print on and are there any special
techniques needed? Thanks in advance for all your help,
Regards
