View Full Version : Transparent paper?
Are there any papers available that are transparent? I have used the Picto... but it is too thick for what I have in mind.
Any help?

Enlarge your negatives onto copy film or ortho litho film.
print your photos on single weight paper if you can find it
or coat your own ,,,
then WAX the prints with beeswax or parafin
thats what i do
the prints arent completely clear but almost translucent
and easy to print as negatives ... or like stainedglass if you add color.
copyshops can print color or b/w mylar and the gooey stuff
your mechanic puts his little rectangular windshield
oil change reminders on too .... kindof cheapo and not the best quality, but fun.

Maybe Red River Sheer, if they still make it.

for color, or b/w optical enlargements, or for digital printing(inkjet)?

Looked up the Red River Sheer. It's still in the catalog online but in only one very small size. Bummer. Also says not recommended for pigment inks, though I tested it once a long time ago and didn't see any problem.
You don't say what your intended use is. I and others seem to have assumed paper negatives based on your mention of "Picto...", but maybe not. Pictorico is a brand, not a single product. It would help to know some more context.

This is posted in the darkroom forum so I was assuming the OP was looking for darkroom processes.
