Re: Chris Andeson there?

Good morning Mark,
      The thing is, they print up gum negs just fine, no smearing for me.
I"ve printed now over 100 11x17's on the stuff. I'm using the semigloss
setting. But Marek has problems with them printing his pt/pd negs, so I'm
interested to see what gives. We're both on the 2200.

     Besides, I expect nothing less from you than miracles...
Chris

Hi Chris,

I fear my system is unable to work miracles. I doubt you need a curve or
anything to test potential film material—just print on it and see if it
smears
when it comes out of the machine—if it does smear, don't waste your time
with
it trying to get it to work. It should be able to hold the ink when the
printer is set to Premium Glossy Photo Paper. Once it passes the smear
test, then
try a step tablet and a gradient and see if they print smoothly. If it
passes that test, then try printing with it and see what results you get. It
all
has to do with the ink set you are using—they are either compatible with the
film or not. After that it becomes an issue of the ability of the
substrate to
hold a good image.
