Re: Printer for Digital Negatives  (was: 1280 going berserkers)

George,
a lot of the earlier printers did not use inks with enough density to get
good digital negatives. All the new printers do have enough density with the
inks. The 1280 is a good buy right now and the dye inks have plenty of density
for digital negatives-more so even than the newer Ultrachromes.

Good luck!
