However QTR may not support that printer at least yet. That has changed somewhat.Īs Sandy noted the use of a RIP, in particular QTR provides a very flexible method of producing digital negatives. The kind sold by MIS, Cone and other vendors. In years past there were adherence issues with quadtone or hextone monochrome inks. The Ultrachrome inks will work fine with all Pictorico products. So the UltraChrome Hi-Gloss2 are OK with the ordinary Pictorico film? If so, it looks like the R2000 might be the way to go. I must say it's somewhat confusing when having never made a carbon print you read that some inks are not compatible with some types of Pictorico film, and best not to use this printer or that one. Also you can visit the B&S Carbon forum for more expert information. Producing digital negatives for any process is a unique discipline unto itself.įor more carbon fun join Sandy King's carbon printing group on where several experienced and wizened carbon printers hang out. Please note this is the short abbreviated answer, as David suggests you may wish to start with LF negatives to learn the process. Since this printer uses Ultrachrome pigmented inks it should produce negatives with the needed density range required for carbon pigment printing. The droplet size is the same as the R1800/R1900, both of which are no longer sold new. You may wish to consider the Epson R2000 which has been released in Oceania or will soon be released there. Many thanks for any suggestions/experiences. (Note the usual rip-off prices companies apply in Australia!) The two printers I'm considering are the Epson Atrisan 1430 (dye based inks, $400) and R3000 (K3 inks, $1500). So it seems to boil down to two questions: is there an advantage in pigment inks and do you need the apparent extra quality of a more expensive printer. There is a big price differential between the printers using these inks, and a resolution difference also. I'd like to know if there is any advantage making digital negatives with K3 pigment inks, or whether dye based inks are satisfactory. I currently don't have a printer larger than A4, and am only considering making prints up to A3+ size.

I'm interested in trying Carbon printing and considering what type of printer to buy.
