The negatives I produced on the Epson are on transparency film material. I
only meant that the resolution on this material is not quite up to the
resolution available on continuous tone photographic film, and I would
probably not use these for platinum/palladium. The use of paper negatives
produced on an Epson sounds interesting; I will give it a try, too.
