Even forgetting about laser printers and considering just inkjet printers, it's desirable knowing about models: I knew not every inkjet is good for the purpose - I give for granted proper transparencies (for inkjet printer) are used. Unfortunately what we require in order to have success with the photofilm exposure method is something not required by the ordinary user, so it seems if a printer is good in achieving "real black" on transparencies, then that's a quality the manufacturer simply got by chance, and not mentioned among the printer characteristics. Then, what is your inkjet printer? ;-) Thanks A. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
