Re: Ink choice for producing digital negatives

2011-10-03 by ziatype_bill

Can't say about dye inks but the pigment inks for Epson printers work fine. I'm using the 3800's K3 inks but I know of others who are using the newer Epson printers with Vivid Magenta without a problem. Are you planning to make silver contact prints or are going to be doing alt process work such as platinum/palladium, cyanotype, van dyke, ziatype, etc.?
