transparency film for ink jets

Hi folks,

I`shure about the forums topic.

Target: Restauration/reprint of old family bw photo.

Plan: Scanning, retouche and restauration in photoshop.

printing out negative on transparency film with ink jet.

contact print from ink jet negative. (will ensure lasting result,

even selenium toning possible).

problem: most films I used tend to have problems with large dark

areas (they simply become to wet).

Any ideas or experience?

Thanx

Martin

Epson makes a backlit transparency film especially for their inkjet printers, it's

pricey, but i've had good results with it - not for what your doing, but for , well,

backlit transparencies:). After printing, you will need to allow the prints to dry

much like a silver print, in a dust-free environment for an hour or two, before

handling too much. otherwise, yeah, the ink slides around and smears.
