Re: Printer for inkjet negs

Yes, I did print it, but I was using sunlight so that may be the
difference. What sort of paper were you using - the paper may be
making a difference too, as the paper I used is very smooth with no
surface texture.
I'll try to set up some fluorescents and try again - I've still got
some vandyke mix left.

thanks,
mike
