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

Hi David,

For the R2400 "Green" ink gives the most density.   This is usually true.   
Black inks in the new printers are very weak.

Are you making negatives for polymer plate?

I've been experimenting with polymer plates for photogravure and PDN is 
producing really good results using the KM73 plates from Boxcar Press.

Best Wishes,
Mark Nelson
