Judy,
I was trying to use the 1160 with MIS quad inks on Pictorico film to make negs for
my initial platinum and ziatype efforts. The smoothness of tone was just not there.
Perhaps for some things it mite work but forget skys.
I went to LF and pyro negs and all of the problems were gone.
Of course shortly after that I also shifted emphasis back to Azo/Amidol printing so
perhaps it is a little silver guilt firing the anti digital anything mood I find my
self in. But soon perhaps silver will be considered alt-photo too.
