Hello Nick,
Just a note to tell you that I'm getting great digital negs on
Pictorico OHP using PiezographyBW software along with Cone's quad black
inks, this on an "ancient" Epson Stylus Color 3000 (four-color) printer.
As many have pointed out, this OHP does scratch easily; and I think
probably Sandy's analysis of why this is so is valid. Handle with Care!
