[Digital BW] Re: problem with matte black ink sticking to transparency film

2008-02-20 by David

Thanks Mark, right now I can't afford to buy your book, but it looks
like you have a successful system for DN. Also, I'm creating image
positives with one ink, meaning that they are made up of a series of
ink dots (similar to an aquatint), but they are not continuous tone as
you'd do for a digital negative.

That said, which ink or inks would you suggest to get the most
opaqueness or UV blocking capacity (on the Epson R2400)? 

Regards, David.
