transparent materials other than Pictorico

[marko_trebusak]

Hi folks!

This country seems to be in stone age regarding some things. I would like to make enlarged negatives for Pd printing, but it seems that I'm unable to get Pictorico OHP transparent material here. It's possible to get Fuji's or Ilford's material. Are this two any good? Do anybody have any experiences with either of them?

Marko,

I think your best bet would be to use Agfa Copyjet transparency material.

You can order some from

Apparently it is just as good or better than Pictorico and is available in Europe.

Thank you, Don and Christian. Christian, do you know the practical diference between both Agfa materials? One is that SelectJet is available in rols and CopyJet is not.

Hi,

That is true, select jet in rolls, and copyjet in sheets. Both of of them are thinner than Pictorico.
For PDN, the color density is the same, but the UV exposure for Agfa is approx. 1/3 stop shorter than Pictorico due to the thickness difference.
Otherwise you will get equal quality.

The smaller thickness causes some feeding and transporting problems on Epson 4000.
