Re: [Digital BW] Digital B&W to Traditional B&W

2010-07-05 by Alan

Well I do have a copy stand and an 6x9 medium format camera along with the negative carrier I would need for the enlarger, not really what I had in mind though. I was hoping maybe someone had invented some material you could stick into a printer, like printing a transparency only much better detail. I have an Epson R1900  printer.

I find that printing the digital image at, say, 11" X 14" and then using (very carefully) an excellent copy camera setup will do best.  I have a bit of an advantage in that I have available a 4" x 5" and 11" X 14" sheet film view cameras with finest process lenses very useful for this.  In fact the larger camera makes a great way to make contact prints for the alternate processes as well as silver.    J Vee    www.jveegraphics.com   jvee.com

Is there any method of getting a scanned in B&W negative image that has been Photo shopped back into some format I could put in an enlarger and print using traditional wet printing? I have a Beseler 23CII enlarger and B&W darkroon set up.
