To extend my art to Silver in the digital domain I want to print negatives on the 2200 for contact printing or enlargement. Can someone recommend a film to print on for such a purpose? Sorry if this topic has been rehashed a million times. I did spend some time searching through the archive but did not find an answer. Joe

Joe, There are two good products for this purpose: 1. Pictorico OHP inkjet transparancies <http://www.pictorico.com> 2. Agfa CopyJet (sheet) or SelectJet (roll) <http://graphics.agfa.com/product/CatProd_DisplayPublic.html?id=8318> Pictorico is the standard. Agfa is the only inkjet transparancy that resembles it (and is a lot cheaper - allthough prices went up recently). See dan burkholders site and book for instructions. http://www.danburkholder.com Use QuadTone Rip (if you are on a Mac with os x or linux) to make you're own separations. The point where next (grey) ink comes in is different between paper (reflective light) and transparancies (transmissive light).

Joe, You can use Pictorico's OHP film or their Photo Gallery High-Gloss White Film. Both can be used to make negatives for silver/gelatin material. If platinum/palladium is your game, the OHP is your only solution. Turns out that the base material of the High-Gloss White Film is UV opaque! Use the photo black ink on your 2200 and print at 2880 dpi. I've developed the Photoshop adjustment curve below for digital negatives used to print on silver/gelatin print material. In Out 0% 10% 5% 11.9% 10% 13.9% 20% 17.6% 30% 21.9% 40% 26.5% 50% 31.5% 60% 36.8% 70% 43.0% 80% 52.0% 90% 70.0% 95% 87.0% 100% 100% Using a Epson 2200, and Pictorico OHP material. Setup: photo black ink, Premium glossy photo paper setting, untagged grayscale image, printer source, same as source. Let the negative cure overnight before using. Works great! Best Regards, David R. Spielman

Hi David, Thanks for the information. Very helpful if I decide to go back into the darkroom ... I triedentering the curve using curves and the entry field gets rounded off to integers so I'm not sure how to enter a fractional value.

Joe, Do the following: 1) With an image loaded, invoke the print with preview function (File>Print with Preview ) and then, 2) Select the Output function from the Color Management/Output drop-down list box. 3) Click on the Transfer Function button and enter the curve values 4) Save the transfer function as an *.ATF file with an appropriate name. The contrast adjustment curve is now ready to be used. To apply the contrast adjustment curve involves the curves function in Photoshop (Image>Adjustments>Curves). Click on the Load button, and select the *.ATF file type. Select the file name of the desired curve and its graph will be displayed Dont be concerned if the resulting image looks very strange onscreen. It is important that no further adjustments (tone, contrast, brightness, etc.) be made in Photoshop after this contrast adjustment curve has been applied. Best Regards, David R. Spielman

Joe, The tone/density relationship of the OHP material is very non-linear. That's why your image looks so strange after applying the curve. By the way, don't forget to invert the image after applying the curve. This transforms the image from a positive into a negative. Best Regards, David R. Spielman
