Even forgetting about laser printers and considering just inkjet
printers, it's desirable knowing about models: I knew not every inkjet
is good for the purpose - I give for granted proper transparencies (for
inkjet printer) are used. Unfortunately what we require in order to have
success with the photofilm exposure method is something not required by
the ordinary user, so it seems if a printer is good in achieving "real
black" on transparencies, then that's a quality the manufacturer simply
got by chance, and not mentioned among the printer characteristics.

Then, what is your inkjet printer? ;-)

Thanks
