When I got my latest films, I had to add a dithering option to reduce
ink away from the edges to keep it from smearing.  I'm not sure I could
reprint with any hope of alignment accuracy.

Perhaps you could do two films, the first with a clean dark edge and
less ink in the middles, the second with the edges moved back
(i.e. shrink everything) so it's less sensitive to misalignment.  You'd
of course put the shrunk one on top so the more accurate edge is closer
to the copper.
