Printer Information

This is an evaluation of how good these printers are at printing solid black on transparency film. This is only a partial list as there are thousands of different types of printers in the world, but we would welcome your help in increasing its scope. So if you have anything to add, either on a printer mentioned below which you have a setting to improve its printing, or a printer that we haven’t mentioned, then please tell us about it. The first section is for ink jet printers the second for laser printers. To date we have never found an ink jet printer that we can’t make a negative on!

Epson

General points:

Many of the Epson range of printers will default to print in colour. You must open ‘Advanced settings’, a warning message may appear saying that they are only recommended for experienced users, ignore this and tick ‘Black ink only’ or ‘greyscale’, all the colour options will then be no longer adjustable. You may well find that Epson branded OHP film works slightly better than our imageblack ink jet film.

This manufacturer’s range of printers will typically give you the blackest artwork by changing the settings to:

Paper to ‘Photo Paper Matte or Ultra Glossy’ Quality to ‘Normal

and Ink to ‘Black and White’.
