I've just finished printing my first digital negative using and Epson 1160
with the ConeTech Piezography driver, MIS FSN with Eboni black ink and
Pictorico OHP film. I applied Dan Burholder's ConeTech Curve for
platinum/palladium on the inverted image and output via the Piezography
driver with Dan's dot density recommendation of 105 and Unsupported Media as
the media type.
The negative produced looks very very thin, which I was sort of surprised to
see. Is this normal? I would think that a negative this thin would print
very quickly but will the tonal scale look normal in the print. The shadow
areas, 90 to 100% in the positive, look almost transparent in the negative.
A print of the inverted imaged with Burkholder curve applied does look weak
and anemic but detail is visible through out the print.
Is all of this normal or should I expect to do some major curve tweaking?
Also contary to what I've read here on this list the ink seems to be smudge
resistant and doesn't rub off.
Thanks,
Don Bryant
