Sources of OHP in the UK

[Carl Radford]

Hi Folks

been trawling the net for pictorico ohp in the uk but don't seem to get anywhere. Anyone know of a source or any comments on the Kentmere or Permajet varities?

Thanks in advance, Carl

they do supply paper from pictorico but not OHP film!

Thanks though Tom!

Perhaps you can find Agfa Copyjet in the UK? For all I know, it is equivalent to Pictorico OHP.

Carl,

I don't know about the Kentmere or Permajet products, but I've used Chromaline's AccuArt2 successfully as a replacement for Pictorico OHP. I have only used the 17" wide rolls, so I don't know what the sheets are like, but the roll product is virtually identical to Pictorico. It's made in the USA, but they do have a UK distributor.

Be careful though, there are various AccuArt products, including AccuArt3 (which seems to be a recent addition to the line), but the one I tried was AccuArt2.

Carl,

Chromaline's website makes it awkward to find the details for AccuArt3, so here's a link to a pdf file.

I notice that the big differences between the AccuArt2 and 3 are that version 3 works well for the K3 inks in an Epson and that the dMax/dMin are different. I was using AccuArt2 with an Epson 4000 and Ultrachrome inks.

I'll follow this one up. Stunning images on the website! Where in Kent were you? Sunny Ramsgate myself but also stayed for a while in Cheltenham so liked the stuff from Cirencester and Hidcote!

Take care, Carl

anyone vouch for it being close to Pictorico?

Hi Carl, Silverprint sells Pictorico OHPs, and Firstcall Photographic the Kentmere ones. I've mostly been using the latter, because I'm a cheapskate, and the results are pretty good (the diginegs I made for the workshop were all on Kentmere).
