Sources of OHP in the UK

I started out using Copyjet for the production of PDN negatives - exclusively used for Kallitype prints. Copyjet was recommended by somebody on the PDN user group. I was unable to find a supplier for Pictorico in the UK.

I have printed on Copyjet (A4) with an Epson 2100 and 2400 without difficulty - the negatives are instantly dry with a stable image. Occassionally I have encountered a sheet feed problem on the 2400 but a re-feed resolves this every time. Copyjet is only available in boxes of 100 - a large initial outlay but very cost effective when compared sheet for sheet with Pictrico.

Personally I would like to be able to purchase the product in the US. but I can't find a source here.

Carl, I spoke to Fotospeed a couple of days ago, they have Picctorico in stock.

I have just spent an age looking for some ohp and have come up empty handed.

Firstcall showed no Kentmere, only there own brand ohp, is that the same?

Jigsaw had no find on copyjet and I had no luck with Nova, there site is awful bye the way, few of the links seemed to work.

If Fotospeed have pictorico in stock it aint on the site as I just searched with no luck

I have just checked the Jigsaw24.com site re Copyjet. If you logically use the 'search for' box it comes up with no find. However if you put copyjet into the Search by Catalogue Code box then bingo

Found it, many thanks Scambuk. I guess I need to spend more time on the net eh?!

Anyone got any feedback on that agfa copyjet film, i am reluctant to spend 80 on 100 sheets if it is sub-standard compared to Permajet and Pictorico. BTW what is the weight of the Agfa film?

Dave,

I've never used the product (Agfa) but Christian Nze in France reports that it works very well. Agfa Copjet isn't marketed in the US but I wish it was.

As far as the Permajet is concerned I've not used it either but it may not be a suitable substrate for Epson OEM inks as it doesn't have an adequate receptor base to allow quick penetration of the ink to prevent pooling. I vaguely recall someone mentioning that Permajet may be the same product as the Ultrafine Clear Film which isn't a great product from my experience. It gave me the same problems as you have described (severe exit roller marks.)

Hope this helps,

Hi guys

was in Silverprint last week and they had at least half a dozen boxes of A3 pictorico ohp on the shelves and some of the new gloss stuff, I didn't ask if they had any other sizes in stock but at least they definitely had these

hope this is helpful
