Digital BW, The Print

George,

Lenswork, and the editor Brooks Jensen who posted a few messages here a few
months back, aren't anti-digital but they are pushing silver fiber and
photogravure as the final output. The didn't feel that there would be much
of a market for inkjet prints of their "Special Editions." I bought a couple
of their silver prints and the quality is really excellent. If I had
personal access to a 3600 dpi image setter I might be tempted myself! They
have published people who use inkjet though.

Lenswork and B&W are magazines worth subscribing to regardless of their
digital stance. They are incredible sources of B&W photographs printed in
very high quality. I really do recommend them both but don't hesitate to
write some irate letters!
