Anybody tried it? Any other similar products available in the UK...

I have used Pictorico, but it doesn't seem to be available in the UK now...I fancy doing some Cyanotypes again.

No problem David. The only issue with CopyJet is the pack sizes, I think the smallest is 100 sheet, or 50 sheet for the larger sizes. It is worth calling Positivity, from memory they will send out a few sample sheets to try. What printer do you have?

I have tried the Fotospeed digital neg film, it looks promising..The WH Smiths inkjet OHP film was a total washout. The ink did not adhere to it at all!

Tried scanning in some of my Widelux F7 negs with my Epson 1200 scanner..Some of the negs, which printed ok, when I had my cold cathode enlarger now turn out to have tram lines...

I am using the Epson driver would Vuescan help out...
