PermaJet Digital Transfer Film 165µ 17in x 30m

PermaJet Digital Transfer Film 165µ is a specialist translucent inkjet film designed for photographers who want to bring digital image preparation into the traditional darkroom. This 17in × 30m roll allows you to print high-quality digital negatives using an inkjet printer, which can then be used for contact printing onto traditional photographic papers or with alternative photographic processes. Its exceptionally clear base, strong black density and excellent image definition make it a useful bridge between digital control and hands-on analogue printing.

Why We Like It

This is a particularly interesting material for anyone who enjoys traditional printing but wants the flexibility of preparing an image digitally first. Instead of being restricted by the size or format of an original film negative, you can edit, size and optimise an image on your computer, print your own negative and then take that negative into the darkroom for the final photographic print.

The quality of the film itself matters enormously for this kind of work. PermaJet Digital Transfer Film has a crystal-clear base without unwanted cloudiness or colour tint, helping light pass cleanly through the transparent areas of your negative. At the same time, it is capable of producing dense blacks and excellent image clarity, giving you the tonal separation needed for accurate contact printing.

The 17in roll format is particularly useful for larger negatives and more ambitious printing projects. It gives you much greater freedom over image dimensions than pre-cut sheets, and allows you to create negatives far larger than most conventional film formats. It is a fascinating way to combine Photoshop or other digital editing tools with traditional darkroom craftsmanship.
