David,

I tried this method (based on Dan Burkholder's book and attending his 
workshop) but have been dissatisfied with the results on silver paper 
(primarily sharpness). I am using the Pictorico transparency film on an 
Epson 2200. What setup are you using that you are so happy with?

Randy,

Try using the Pictorico white film instead of the OHP. The ink receptive
layer of the white film is far better than the OHP.
Initially, I also used the OHP and found it to be lacking. I tried both the
matte black and photo black inks, with the PK ink being
better on the OHP. I now use the PK ink with the white film on the 2200 at
2880 dpi and get good results. I also use the Burkholder curve for white
film that can be found in his new 'Inkjet Companion" document on this web
site.

Best Regards,

David R. Spielman
