Digital BW, The Print

Frank,

As a platinum printer and a digital printer I think you are strolling down
the path with blinders. Yes each medium has its own characteristivs, but the
fact is you can not yet obtain a print that glows like a contact platinum
print and has the luminositry of contact silver print using inks and water
color papers.

This NOT meant to be an argument of digital vs. silver. I love inkjet
printing and digital imaging. What I am saying is that the state of the art
has not yet reached the level of what we are striving for. Not many of us
want to duplicate a silver print. Some of us do in fact want to duplicate
platinum as we feel that platinum is the ultimate medium as far as depth and
three dimensionality is concerened.

Just to let you know I print and sell and exhibit many Piezo prints, I have
also been a platinum printer for many years. These are in fact valid issues
and certainly not antiquated. We are all striving to obtail the perfect
print!

Antiquated or not a fine print is judged by certain criteria, that will not
change.
