A friend asked met to print on some clear film sheets, but it was not a big succes.
He wanted to print a negative from a digital capture to us it for a wet printing process.
His material gave some inktspots and other irregularities and was meant for laser and inkjet prints.
Also i did not know exactly what media preset to choose and to choose glossy black PK or matt black MK.
HP has discontinued its own clear film product.
Who has experience with printing on this material? All info will be absorbed...

There is also dedicated Screen Printing film; designed to print film positives on aqueous inkjet. I have done film negatives (Epson is better than Canon, here). There is very good Dmax and if for some reason you fall short with 100%k add 'a little yellow' (don't ask but it will work)
FYI, there is an emulsion on one side, take care to print THIS side (you can scratch a corner to make sure you're on the right side)

I use the Epson transparency media. Look into getting a copy of "The New Inkjet Negative Companion" by Dan Burkholder. I have the 2013 copy, I'm not sure if it has been updated since then. It's a great guide for any wet printing process.

The Pictorico Ultra Premium OHP material has a notch taken out, top right corner. Print highest quality, unidirectional.
