Digital BW, The Print

No, but from what I've seen, I doubt the inkjet film used is going to matter. So, price and availability in the sizes you want are probably the main factors.

The company seems to be selling its very clear base -- low base fog. (Many films have a bluish cast.) Assuming this film is more clear, visually, it does not answer the UV transparency issue. Even if it is more clear in UV, I doubt it would affect the final alt print quality significantly.

I suspect people can just print through the base fog of all the currently popular films rather easily.

But I am not an expert in alt process.

As an outsider, my impression so far from my quick look at the field is that the bulk of the art and craft in the alternative process printing niche is in the character of the wet darkroom process and how the the multitude of variables are put together by the individual practitioner (including, as always, the image). The inkjet internegative printing step is an important, but small part of this, and it has reached the "good enough" stage with either OEM inks or carbon inks, and any number of printing approaches.

Yes, I'm sure there is a reason they are advertising the clear base for a reason. The ​color carbon process probably shares a lot more with the larger color separation industry than the platinum, single negative process -- which is the one I'm not learning the most about.
