Yes Eric, I only do silver. I mainly use Ilford Multigrade RC & FB IV paper.
Sincerely,

Pierre, It sounds like you do not do pt/pd printing then. ("I think they use
UV light with a predefined exposure time only for palladium." - Yes to UV
light, predefined exposure -- somewhat so) So your green negs are just for
your silver printing. Are those on a graded paper?

Eric, I do not think the green negs made with the HP printer will work with
Silver. When I use my program and generate a green neg ( they are usually
orange looking), they have been calibrated for my light source and my photo
paper. The only thing in common with the HP for calibration would be the ink
and substrate.
If I use Fiber paper instead of RC, the time exposure will be different. So,
how with the HP negs, can they find that out?
I think they use UV light with a predefined exposure time only for
palladium.

I just love the marriage between analog and digital. I still shoot film
(mainly the new kodak ektar 100), have it scanned at Walmart at 300 dpi on
their fuji frontier. (amazing quality). Then I manipulate the image if I
need too and convert it to B&W using my program.
Create my inkjet neg and process in my darkroom. I now use powder chemicals
to last longer.
The output just blow your mind. Exactly what I had on my screen. My fiber
prints are amazing.
PS: I do not want to start a thread of the advantages of ink print vs
darkroom print. This is only my preference and I am not trying to convince
anybody...

Sincerely,
Pierre

Pierre, What I am getting at, is whether or not the green only negs work
well with silver, without extraordinary steps. I have been quite happy with
my digital negs going from PT/PD process to silver gelatin with a simple
change of media; PT/PD coated paper to silver gelatin. no multiple
developers, no new curve just pick up and print. Do your same negs work well
with silver and your alternative process without new curves?

Eric, I have been able using my program to generate green negs to use with
Silver. I am not sure though it is what the HP is for. from what I am
reading it is more for palladium.

And how are those green negs printing for regular silver printing?

Hi all,

My name is Angel. I work for HP as a colour scientist and I have devised the
solution for the HP Z3200 printers that allows the users the creation of
digital negatives to make prints with alternative processes.

Harald told me about his forum, but right now, I'm out of home/office with
very restricted access to the internet. Here you have two links to some
entries answering similar questions that you made about HP Large Format
Negatives in HybridPhoto forum.

Thanks a lot for your interest. 
I'll connect again from time to time when I get back.

Angel Albarran
