Re: Digital Negs was Re: [Digital BW] Lyson Quad Metamerim problems

Martin, I've looked into these. The problem is cost - at around 150USD the
market around here won't stand the hike. The max i can sell a 10x10" print
in Spain for is 500USD, gallery takes half, I pay framing...
I am going try the inkjet method though. I have the film on order.

on a 3600dpi image setter. There are even higher resolution image setters
out there too. There is more info on Dan's site,
