You can make "digital negatives" by printing onto transparency sheets, but be aware that laser printers don't seem to do a good enough job for a nice sharp image--it seems that inkjets are your safest bet.
- chromatin 5y agoYes, definitely ink jets on transparency! I have another. Moment at top level on curves and exposure also.
- brudgers 5y agoAlso good tonality with digital negatives can be counter intuitive because the spectral response of various media is not uniform and printer inks are not necessarily pure colors.
- frostburg 5y agoPictorico OHP film is the best for this. Yellow ink is usually more UV-opaque, so I suggest using that to improve dmax. There are ready-made toning curves to linearize the results, but to obtain reliable results a calibrated workflow is necessity in practice.
