[alt-photo] Permajet Digital Transfer film: an interesting transparent substrate for Pictorico?

[Jean Daubas]

Hi all,
and especially European Alt-printers...

As you know Pictorico is hard to find in Europe and when you find it, it is so, so expensive...

It's why I usually use"Agfa Copyjet" transparent film substrate for my digital negatives (bought in France at “Tiflex company”, ).

I received David Chow's  "the Art of Platinum Printing "  newsletter this morning and I found it very interesting about the transparent "Permajet" films. David Chow made a lot of tests with the Permajet transparent film to print his digital negative and it seems that the results are now very impressive in regards of  the costly Pictorico material.
So I decided to share David 's review because i think it may open a new ressource for our digital negatives needs.
You will find all the info here :

and some more resource info on Permajet’ website:

Hope it helps,
alternative cheers from france,
