What would you do if you were in my shoes?
I want to make enlarged digital negatives from 4x5's for platinum toned Kallitypes.
I live 1000 Kilometres (2000km round trip) by road from an Epson technician.
If anything goes wrong with Epson's piezo head, I'm screwed.
Epson's newer printers are problematic with Piezography inks.
Pretty risky getting a refurbished 3880 being so far from a technician.
According to Piezography, their negatives hold more detail than a Kallitype will reveal anyways.
Could an Epson P800 with OEM inks produce negatives more detailed than a Kallitype will reveal?
P800 could do double duty for my wife's colour wildlife photographs.
P800 could do 16x__ panoramic prints.
Then again, if anything goes wrong with the piezo head...
Canon's Prograf 1000 thermal head can be easily worked on or replaced.
The Prograf 1000 produces less fine detail, but will that be evident in a Kallitype?
Prograf 1000 cannot do 16x__ panoramic prints.
Prograf 1000 could do double duty for my wife's colour wildlife photographs.
I'm at the bottom of the learning curve on this digital stuff, so your insights will be most appreciated!
