RE: What about 1200x1200dpi laser printers for digital negatives?

 
Hi Marc, it's an Epson 1160. It can band due not well cleaned head
and/or in some tones. It doesn't band severly and not in every print so
I didn't investigate much... Actually "banding" may not be the correct
term or diagnosis: Pictorico dot gain is almost nonexistent; so what I
am seeing may be the simple weaving pattern of the native driver (the
fact that I'm not seeing it everytime may be explained by... I may not
be that attentive/nitpicking all times and/or the weaving pattern may be
somehow obtrusive in some tone/ink combinations only).
 
Regards,
Loris.

Loris,

In reference to your experience of banding:

Which inkjet printer are you using for your Pictorico negatives?

Thanks,
Mark Nelson

I pretty sure it would work for pictorial prints (just like at the time
of British and French Calotypists) & gum process but what if I want to
print high definition Vandyke (which sometimes, in some tones, unveils
the slight banding from my inkjet printer with Pictorico negatives -
even with prints on NOT paper) and/or Kallitype prints?

Anyway, I would be glad if you inform us/me with your progress on the
subject...

Regards,
Loris.
