Bingo, Sandy.
The primary point, from my end anyway, was that neutral carbon inks (Cone,
in my experience; MIS in Nick's, as I recall) do not adhere well to
Pictorico.
I did say that I purchased a dye configured Epson 7600 expressly for the
purpose of generating big negatives on Pictorico. This decision was based on
pre-release trials with Epson demo units; the dye ink held better than the
pigments on OHP.
FWIW, I still use neutral carbon inks (in an Epson 3000) and Epson
pigment/chrome inks (in a 1280 and a chrome configured 7600)--but not for
making negatives.
Best regards,
John
