Re: Problem with Ultrafine Clear Film

Probably the printer is irrelevant (anyway, I use a 1160). I guess the
factor that makes our experiences so different is the inkset. I use Conetech
Selenium Piezotone pigment inks (grays only, the black is MIS FS/FSN black).
Will try both my Pictorico and U.C.F. sheets with my friend's 2200 to see
what happens... are you sure that you dragged your finger on the right
side? - just joking! sorry, I couldn't resist ;) But as I said before, "for
my current setup" Pictorico is a no-no to me. Putting aside scratching
issues when being casual with Pictorico negatives, I don't see any reason to
pay 2.6x price to Pictorico while U.C.F. works perfectly for me ;)

Now, your statements leads us to the conclusion that 2200 inks and U.C.F.
are incompatible... Am I right? Is there anyone else using this combination
and having problems? Or anyone using this setup without problems?

Regards,
Loris.
