Hi,
Is there a source for Picorico OHP on the east coast? I've googled it and come up empty, which is hard to believe.

thanks,
Susan

If you can't find it in a "camera" store, you should go on on line directly to Pictorico. That's what I have done.

Pictorico OHP

They don't list OHP, but they do sell Pictorico products. So call Kathy at their 800 number and see if she can order it for you. They drop ship anywhere.

Hi Susan,

I order directly from Pictorico and their free FedEx ground shipping option is great. I placed an online order on Monday and received the delivery today - 4 days. Also, you can sign up for their frequent buyer programme to earn points that can be redeemed as a discount on further purchases.

Hi Susan,

I was going to reccomend that you check Adorama but they are no longer listing OHP. This may be due to the change over to the 'new' version of OHP from Pictorico and the new product may not be available yet throught their distributor/retail channels.

As Joe said Pictorico.com may be the best source.

Digital Art Supplies sells a transparency material that maybe very similar to OHP though I've never used it.

The price is still about the same as Pictorico OHP.

Ultrafine Clearfilm could be a product that you may wish to experiment with. WIthout going into a long explaination a sheet of thin mylar is needed to underlay this material to prevent ink transfer to the emulsion. This is a technique reccomended by Snady King.

They also make another product called, "Dynasty Screen Print Inkjet Film" which is more expensive and untested by anyone that I know.

I use the Ultrafine OHP from PhotoWarehouse because it has much less UV blocking than Pictorico. The pigmented inks from the Epson 2200 do not adhere strongly to the substrate so I always tape a piece of thin mylar (2-3 mil) over the printed area of the Ultrafine. Even with the mylar sandwich Ultrafine still prints at leaste 1/3 of a stop more than Pictorico, and if you use a vacuum frame there is no loss of sharpness at all.

Should also mention that the Ultrafine is very inexpensive compared to Pictorico, and that is a bonus but the main reason I use it is because it prints faster.

The stuff is available in rolls, or they will cut it to your requirment from a roll. I recently has some 8X18 and 13X21 cut to allow me to print full frame digital negatives of 7X17 and 12X20 scans.

Thanks to each of you... lots of good information and resources to check out. As always, I appreciate the help!
