Well, quality of an inkjet photomask can vary a lot depending on the ink
and how is reacts with the receptive coating. As russell pointed out
Epson ink and epson transparencies work brilliantly. All of the HP
inkjets with HP transparencies I've seen give poor results (lots of
micro holes and even some banding !!). Epson transparency with HP ink is
equally poor. HP transparencies with Epson printer give barely
acceptable photomasks but only on print settings 1440dpi more/photo
paper, where maxium amount of ink is printed. A friend just bought one
of the new cannon inkjet printers which I think uses dye based black
inks just like the Epson. I've only seen the results on glossy
photopaper, but the artwork is extremely dense and solid. I'm going to
try it with various brands of transparencies and see what I get. The
Cannon is cheaper to run (bigger ink storage) than the Epson.
