Lloyd, what brand of transparency film are you using? I have tried a
few where the MK worked, but the coating is so course, it doesn't pick
up the resolution that I need. All the ones made for fine art or
digital photo applications don't seem to work. I've seen a few brands
that were for dye inks and I've avoided those.  

I'm not really looking at permanence as usually defined--I just want
the ink to dry and be permanent enough so I can't wipe it off with my
finger. 

Regarding the difference between the two, I've read: "they're actually
the same pigment, the only difference is the photo black has a coating
around the pigment particles so it sticks to glossy/luster media."
