Digital BW, The Print

Joe,

You can use Pictorico's OHP film or their Photo Gallery High-Gloss White
Film.
Both can be used to make negatives for silver/gelatin material.
If platinum/palladium is your game, the OHP is your only solution.
Turns out that the base material of the High-Gloss White Film is UV opaque!
Use the photo black ink on your 2200 and print at 2880 dpi.

I've developed the Photoshop adjustment curve below for digital negatives
used to print on silver/gelatin print material.

In    Out
0%    10%
5%    11.9%
10%    13.9%
20%    17.6%
30%    21.9%
40%    26.5%
50%    31.5%
60%    36.8%
70%    43.0%
80%    52.0%
90%    70.0%
95%    87.0%
100%    100%

Using a Epson 2200, and Pictorico OHP material.
Setup: photo black ink,
Premium glossy photo paper setting, untagged grayscale image, printer
source, same as source. Let the negative cure overnight before using.

Works great!

Best Regards,

David R. Spielman

  Subject: [Digital BW] Contact Print Negatives



  To extend my art to Silver in the digital domain I want to print
  negatives on the 2200 for contact printing or enlargement. Can
  someone recommend a film to print on for such a purpose? Sorry if
  this topic has been rehashed a million times. I did spend some time
  searching through the archive but did not find an answer.
