Re: Anyone built/seen a BW lightjet?

Yes, at AIPAD a few weeks ago in NYC. They were prints by David 
Fokos, who is well-known in the digital to silver circles.

I had inquired two years ago about doing BW on a LightJet and was 
rather discouraged by the responses I got. However, the prints I saw 
a few weeks ago were stunning. I read the print info card on the wall 
and couldn't believe that it was a chomogenic C-print. I think a lot 
had to do with the fact that they were from large (8x10 I think) 
negatives. The tone was neutral and they were on the matte surface 
paper. Looked almost like Kodak Elite the way the light reflected off 
it. I was very impressed and would now have to reconsider it as an 
option for digital output.
