Re: How to slow printing speed down with the Epson 3800

2009-10-12 by horstenj

I have used my 3800 for digital positives for photo-intaglio purpose on Agfa Copyjet. I needed a very high density as well. MK gave for me a much better result than PK. I made a special QTR curve for it and I used the front (or rear?, I forgot) feed inlet to feed the Copyjet mounted on a board. Direct feed didn't work indeed.

I use PK because MK gives a very grainy look, and in order to get the very high density range I need (log 3.2) I must use a profile that lays down a lot of ink. Problem is, there is so much ink that it does not dry immediately, and I get pizza wheel marks with the regular Pictorico (but not with Pictorico Ultra).
