Tho I've never tried them, it's been said on this list that they don't
work, presumably because you might want to print the very colors you're
using for the neg (among other reasons). However, you don't need such
great density for a gum neg -- gum print range is usually only 5 or 6
steps -- and I believe that should be obtainable with black only on most
inkjet printers. It certainly is on mine.
