Hello Hiag, If you're talking inkjet negatives, then Pictorico OHP is your best choice for UV sensitive printing; Pictorico Photo Gallery High Gloss White Film is better for making negs to be printed on Silver Gelatin. If you don't already have the "Inkjet Negative Companion" supplement to my book, it'd be a good thing to get. It not only covers the latest inkjet printers but includes a Photoshop Template that semi-automates the negative-making process. You can learn more at the following URL: http://www.danburkholder.com/Pages/main_pages/inkjet_companion.html And (sorry if this is sounding like a sales pitch) on Sunday February 6, 2005 I'll be officially opening www.TinyTutorials.com where I'm offering short 4-7 minute Quicktime videos of Photoshop techniques. They will be priced at an affordable $3 each, with one free for every four ordered. Check it out on Sunday! Hope this helps!

Indeed there are ways to make digital negs with your inkjet printer. The second edition of my "Making Digital Negatives for Contact Printing" addresses that very issue. If you are primarily interested in inkjet negatives, the supplement to my book, "Inkjet Negative Companion," will guide you in the right direction. Both the book and Companion are available from Freestyle or on my web site at www.DanBurkholder.com but feel free to email if you have additional questions.
