Re: Ink choice for producing digital negatives

2011-10-04 by ebenostby

They both work fine, but in my experience pigment inks are more fragile on the very thin receptive surface of OHP film. Take care not to wipe them off with your hands and they'll be fine. Dye based inks seem to be more robust and can deal with more handling. Both make excellent negatives.
