Digital BW, The Print

Whadayaknow....I can actually agree with Austin on something!  (grin)

Nicely put Austin....and I like photogravures too.

Austin wrote (little snip):

I don't have that problem with Piezo, and my shadows are very very open.
Now, I don't disagree that the density of the darkest black in Piezo isn't
as dense as "other" methods, for what ever reason, but as has been pointed
out...it really doesn't matter if the overall print has the dynamic range
(separation of tones).  I like the comment that Piezo prints are more like
photo gravures.  I like photo gravures ;-)

Regards,

Austin
