Best Way to Print Film Positives/Negatives on Epson Stylus Pro 4800

[jesuisunegraphiste]

I want to use the Epson Stylus Pro 4800 we got to print small films for positives and negatives. It prints beautifully, but it doesn't print opaque enough for me to use.

I have Photo Black installed, two grays and the color carts. I'm using Pictorico Ultra PRM transparency film.

What do I need to adjust to get the black to be über black and opaque enough to use?

Thanks!

Lie to it about what type of paper you are feeding it until you get usable result. And print highest res on ultra flippin fine, lol.

Add a rip to your computer such as accu rip or ghost rip. We use T-Rip and are pretty happy with it.

I like the way you think. I've been trying to tell it to print on Photo Glossy, but it doesn't care. lol I get the same result.

Try matte paper at high res. Also tell it to print just black. If you have a dialogue to set ink limits run it up.
