OHP Film for digital negatives that is available pref in the UK/EU (for Piezograpy)?

[Ed Bray]

I am in the process of converting my Epson 2880 to Jon Cone's Piezography2 Digital Negative and Print System (depends if he ever answers my questions) along with my intention to begin Carbon Printing (awaiting parts for my personal design [with some assistance from John Jarosz] of Vacuum Contact Frame to arrive).

To this end I now find that I will need a really good Inkjet Transparency Film which is available in the UK preferably in both A3 and A4 sizes (I can burn the A4 until I get good results and use the A3 for larger prints only. The transparency film recommended by Jon Cone is 'Ultra Premium Pictorio OHP film' and this is the medium that the control curves in QTR have been made for. Unfortunately this OHP film does not seem to be available in the UK or even in the EU.

So, are there any photographers in the UK or EU using Jon Cone's Piezography Inks to make digital negatives who can recommend a suitable Inkjet OHP film in A4 & A3? If not, but you know of a suitable film that will both produce good results and also is available in the UK or EU could you please give me the 'heads up'.

Anyone who uses Piezography who can give some advice on making digital negatives for Carbon Printing using the Cone Ink-set would be doing me a great favour if they could pass along any tips.

TIA, Eddie

Hi

for the OHP you can try Film for Producing Positives. both the HD and the premium are really good , as good as pictorico. The HD stop uv a little more so you need longer exposure time, but I can get perfect neg with 4.0 Drange with both this film.

You can also find a good ohp here Colourbyte Europe Ltd - Film

The revolution is my favorite for roll because of it is lees sensible to scratch than colourbyte. I must wear gloves when I manipuate the colourbyte, if not there surface scratch which are visible on the print. With precut sheet you may not ahve the problem.

cheers...
