Comments please from the group regarding using Epson's backlight film
with the "matte black" ink in the Ultrachome inkset with the 9600.
I also wondered how I would create a custom icc profile for Epson's
backlit material. Is there a "canned" Epson profile for the Epson's
backlight film?
I would also like more comments on the use of heat with the Ultrachrome
inks, especially with the "matte black".
I am guoting Cris Daniels: "It is critical that you only use these
cold-pressure sensitive
laminates on the Ultrachromes, the typical heat activated laminates are
way to much for the Ultrachromes.
I have Jet Guard Gloss for the Seal Ultra 44 and
the working temp for this laminate is 250 degrees which will wack the
Ultrachromes and who knows what that temperature is doing to the paper"
What I have done as a test and not sold to clients is, use
Sureguard/McDonald Pro-tecta-cote matte #941 lacquer on a print created
on Epson's Enhanced matte paper, and then bonded it to foam core using
Fusion 4000 and heat.
Those of you experienced in this treatment, please comment. What does
heat do to the Ultrachrome inks? What does heat do to Ultrachrome
inks that have been protected with a protective lacquer coating?
What I am doing and feeling comfortable with is lacquering prints
created on Bulldog Red dot inkjet canvas. So far I only lacquer on
client request, images on the Epson Enhanced Matte media.
