We've only tested Jon Cone's Piezographic Quadtone inks and have found them
to behave the same as MIS inks-- OK on textured surfaces, but can be easily
rubbed off on smoother surfaces.

  How about any quad dye based inks that you have tested and are known to
dry fully?

  Many thanks,

    Nick,

    I'm not really sure. I've heard that Lyson inks might, but we haven't
tested them yet.

      Chip, I'm still searching around for the all purpose pigment based
printer/ink setup. My interest is to avoid multiple printers - I already
have 3 on my desk and don't want a 4th.

      Would you care to let me know which black/gray 'pigment' based inks
dry well on your OHP film? Other than Piezography inks.

      Many thanks,

      Nick

>>>Hi, I have some OHP film (8.5X11) and the ink won't adhere
permanently. I'm using a quadtone inkset from MIS (the Full Spectrum
black/gray). Any help will be appriciated.>>>

        Sorry for my late reply.

        MIS inks are not very compatible with smooth surfaces, such as our
OHP Transparency Film. Apparently the ink solvent does not anchor
completely to the smooth sheet, enabling you to brush off the ink easily
after printing. From the feedback we have received, MIS inks do much better
on sheets with some texture that allow the anchoring to take place.
