Grainy negatives == not so good with UT and 1280?

2003-11-13 by Allan Chen

>Hi all,

So I've had my 1280 setup with the UT inkset (pre-filled carts) for 
about...oh...3 days now.  Have printed a handful of test prints, am now 
tweaking some of my negatives to do more testing.

One thing I noticed is that some low-light, 3200 speed pictures I took at a 
wedding, which are obviously rather high grain, didn't come out 
particularly well at all.  They look almost pixelated in the blacks, and 
there isn't anything close to a smooth transition between those really dark 
shades of grey and black.

Do grainy negatives not work so well with this system? The fine-grain, 
50-100 speed stuff I've also tested look fabulous.
