Re: Canon inks for digital negatives

Thank you Kai, for advice on repeat printing on the same sheet in
registration. I now have less sharpness but, more importantly, density.
Do you print your negatives in black alone? Do you use them exclusively
for cyano prints? Any further advice or comments regarding digital
negatives using Canon inks would be appreciated!

So I print two layers on one sheet of foil in registration and the density adds up. Doing this has a second benefit. If one layer is printed with full density and the other ending with a 95% gray instead of black, the dot pattern is different and the print quality improves.

If you put a stack of paper in the tray and let the foil fall down on the rail the stack stands on you will get good results with some practice. The stack is important because the slider moving the paper stack has not to be moved very far until the roller of the intake grabs up the foil.
