Has anyone tried using Epson Backlight Film for digital negs?
 
Epsons website says it "Dries instantly for easy handling with Epson inks,"
but it also says "For use with the Stylus Pro 7000 and the Stylus Pro 9000
only." Is there a reason I couldnt run this through a 1200? Are the inks
formulated differently for these models?

Hi Paul
 
This is realy interesting.
 
I tried to do it with my Epson Stylus Photo 750 and 1200 (these are
the former models of printers you mentioned but differences shouldn't
be much significant).
 
I do nearly all prints for commercial presentations with theses
printers on high glossy paper and quality is realy 'photo like'.
 
But trying to print negs on transparent film, I had allways the problem,
that dye doesn't dry fast enouth, producing unsharp details and
leaving visible dye drops on the sureface. I used Tetenal film and some
other brands I don't remember as well as fixed out lith film without
successes.
 
Does anyone know how to solve this problem or is there a brand
(german market), which allows quick drying and producing sharp
details?
 
Thanks!
 
Regards
Stefan

Just bought an epson 1270, and am working with ibm transparency film.
(until I can get some pictorico)
Early days but lots of useful guidance from Dan Burkholder's book.
Suffice to say this printer is a HUGE step over paper negs (even with oil)
on my older epson styus pro. I am working in van dyke and gum and know that
with some photoshop curve tweaking I will actually get useful negs up to
13"x44".
epson 870 is the same printer for negs up to 8"x44" (I think)
good luck.

Has anyone tried making enlarged negs with one of the new inkjet printers?
It would be a real boost if it could be done... If anyone has any links to
some info on this I'd appreciate it!
 
Thanx!
