QTR-Quadtone RIP

Long story short, no.

The MK ink is actually too opaque in comparison to the LK ink meaning as the MK and LK ink start to merge in the HLs, you will get lots of white dots in the highlights of your darkroom print. 

The MK ink (Ultra-chrome HD) also rubs off of film easily and is very fragile as it is designed for more porous substrate. It doesn’t work well on film with no half-tone applied.

Walker
