Digital BW, The Print

I think I've mentioned this before, a while back, but please indulge me to mention it again.

I have a sample running in the Aardenburg test site, they were printed using the EpsonR1800/Premier Art FineArt 205/Eboni combination. The test (item #144) is up to 70 megalux-hours and doing quite well. (We owe a big debt to Mark and his worthy project!)

I do some local work with historic preservation and take photos submitted to the National Register. For many years I was submitting darkroom prints to their standards, but at their website they put out a call for newer technology prints. So I contacted them describing the carbon ink process and they now accept prints using the combination mentioned above.

It's been very satisfactory - but I'm still uneasy about storing the digital files. The Register does request, in addition to the prints, the files on a gold CD. Still, as has been mentioned here, what will happen when CD drives go the way of 5.25" or 3.5" disk drives? The Millenniata project does look promising ... but still....
