I actually used a laserjet [black and white] not a inkjet, and acetates
from HP specially designed for such printer.
I think you have to buy specialty actates that don't let the ink run and
smear.
There is a brand reccomended by several people but my mind can;t churn that
name out! I think it was Pictorico but I'm not 100% sure.

Hello Pablo,
Can you tell me why I have problems with the inks running and smearing on
the acetate? The negatives are for contact printing - what type of
material (acetate? Are there different kinds?) should be used?

Depending on the format you plan to use you may have problems with the
acetate "grain"
Those films have a pattern imprinted on them that is awfull when enlarged.
I have tried for 6x6 and 6x9 and it looks horrible.
However, digital negatives for contact printing are great.

Has anyone tried printing a PhotoShop image (inverted) onto acetate
and using it as a negative in a traditional enlarger?
Would it work?
