From what I can remember from his book, Burkholder had some good results with Piezzotone quad pigment inks on the OHP film in a similar 6 channel machine. I also would think the new K7 Piezzo inkset using 6 dilutions could be perfect for this with the smoothest midtone ramp around. It's interesting because I want to do this exact same thing. Are they making that OHP film in 24" rolls now, that is reliable? The last time I spoke with Pictorico about a year and a half ago, they told me the roll film was not recomeneded for high qualilty negs because it was only coated on one side and produced unacceptable pin holes. They recommended the largest sheet size, which was 13x19. Has this changed? We should check into this. I would like to do some big platinum prints from this film using this exact same printer that you are talking about. I actually did some very nice negs on that film with the 7000 and the Lyson Small Gamut hextone archival dye inkset. That was two years ago. The resolution and tonality were very nice but we never went beyond 13x19. John
