Nick,
You need to apply a clear spray over the ink on pictorico, Krylon Crystal
Clear Acrylic works well and is cheap.
Does the FS quadtone dry as well as the piezo ink?

Kees, Gord and all,
Well, this is like dejavu dejavu. I have just begun to test Pictorico on an
1160 with MIS Full Spectrum Quadtone inks. It appears to be a NO GO and I
have a call into Pictorico tech support. The ink appears to dry ok,
however, it just sits on the film and if you barely touch it, the image gets
scratched. I have the Piezography system and I have given up on the
associated inks. I believe both inks are pigment based - I'm guessing, but
apparently dye based will sink in, but the pigments sit on the surface.
More to follow on this one.
I have been recieving the Epson list post for a couple of months now and
people rave about the large sizes and quality of the images produced by the
5000 through 9500 model Epson printers. I think you could pass a billboard
through one of these models.
Also, I just emailed Dan B and he's on vacation.
