What printer are you using to print your films?
« on: August 07, 2011, 04:00:57 PM »
Also what ink are you using (dye or pigment)?

Thanks.  ;)

I use an Epson 1400 with FilmMaker (upgraded FastRIP) on waterproof film from Beckmar Screen supply.  The printer is using dye based ink.  No need for pigment as the RIP increases the amount of ink deposited on the film by 400%.  The printer is also on a bulk ink system.
