RE: Digital Neg Materials

One of the problems with most of the transparent media for desktop digital
negatives has been the slow, and often incomplete, drying. Has anyone tried
Ansel Adams' test-print technique of using a microwave oven for controlled
drying? Joachim

Hi Dan,

I use Westjet transapency from Westar Solution with Epson 1280's. One 1280
is setup with dye inks and the other with pigmented inks; both from
inksupply.com. It is recommended that you only print using black ink but I
find that printing grayscale with all colors give a smoother negative. I
haven't seen any puddleing though the transparencies take a day or two to
dry at 50% RH. Generally I dry them with a blowdryer on hot and they are
ready in minutes. Westar will also send samples if you call or email them.
