Digital BW, The Print

John, Making platinum prints bigger than original negatives is easy enough
with the older films that we had. With the loss of Kodak's 4125 in large
sheets, the available quality films took a big hit. Several lesser film were
around , but most just didn't come close. Multi prints with traditional negs
was never much of an issue. In fact only once in my years of printing did I
see an issue.  New digital negs are much more fragile than a standard silver
neg.

Harald:
Be interesting to know how the prints made with digital inter negatives,
compared with those made using regular photo negatives? Have you seen any
comparisons? 

Reason I ask, obviously making 10 offs from an original neg is not a
problem, but you start making larger runs, and you risk damaging the
original negative. This would obviously be a good technique to use in this
type of situation, as well as for making a Platinum/Paladium print larger
than the original neg size.
