Tim,
What materials did you use for your negatives made on inkjet printers ?
I tried to make digital masks on inkjet printers for conventional printing,
and for the materials I tried, found that they had a coating of some sort,
arranged in an orderly grid, which showed up in the print when it was
enlarged (MF negs, 16X20 prints)
I tried various materials, and printers. The best being the Epson 2200,
and Pictorico Transparancy Film but the results were not acceptable.
Have you found a combination which allows enlargement in the
range of 8-10 times ?
Thanks
Len Eselson
