[Alt-photo] Re: Epson printing tip

[BOB KISS]

As I mentioned in my original e-mail, I had pizza wheels ***regardless*** of
which loading method I used.  Front loading did *nothing* to eliminate them.
The only thing that did the trick was to extend the drying time for each
printer pass.

Feeding the film from the front also helps eliminate pizza wheels.

But the not-drying was a problem. After Sandy told me about using his stash
of Ultrafine as interleafing or cover sheets for Pictorico, I arrived at
what I thought was best of both worlds: print a 2nd reversed left-to-right
negative and sandwich the 2 face to face. The surprise was that using just
photo black I made almost straight line negatives perfect for PD.

Wish Don asked me before throwing his Ultrafine in the trash - Ultrafine
alone makes nice gums. Love the clear base. All you need is to back the
non-dry negative with very thin piece of Duralar and it would work great.
That is, if your Epson behaves as it should - mine just died. Or at least
the PK print head seems to have just died - completely clogged with a 7/10
full cartridge.
