Re: Inkset for digital negatives

2012-07-09 by ebenostby

On the 1400, which I believe is a very close cousin of the 1400, I use MIS dyebase inks for digital negatives. It has the advantage that the results adhere very well to transparency stock, the negatives I make through QTR are very clean and dither-free, and I can produce normal color images as well. However, you won't get good monochrome prints (as with Paul's carbon methods). I switched from an Eboni inkset after finding that my negatives were too fragile.

But since they are not supported with curves and you would be on your own as far as profiles go, I wonder if anyone could recommend another 3rd party inkset that could be diluted down to make custom ink densities for making smooth dither free digital negatives with pretty standard density?
