Digital BW, The Print

Shaun,

Antonis and I figured this would come up sooner or later and had been 
thinking about something later this fall.

However, if you want to go for it by all means do. (For myself am 
hoping to hear from Jason regarding some of the logistical problems 
he had to go through.)

Some thoughts:

The purpose of the group is to explore all methods of getting a B&W 
image off a file and onto a piece of paper. The membership is rather 
inkjet heavy or at least it appears so from the posts. My idea was to 
have a print exchange but reserve a certain number of slots for 
various types of media. For a group of 30 I was thinking something 
like:

12 to 15 - pigment Quadra tones
5 - dye base Quadra tones
5 - CYMK ink set monochrome prints
5 - other

These numbers are off the top of my head and while it would be really 
great if someone wanted to send 30 platinum prints from a digital 
contact neg, 30 LightJet prints, 30 silver prints from a digital 
negative, I am not holding my breath either. Who knows, perhaps there 
is a kind soul out their.

My thought was to call for volunteers who have to choose a category. 
If some of the categories do not fill up by a certain date and there 
are surpluses in other categories then expand some categories and 
shrink others.

The real potential here is to get a look at a wide range of media so 
I would like to see that happen.

BOTTOM LINE: WHOEVER IS BOLD AND KIND ENOUGH TO RUN A PRINT EXCHANGE 
GETS TO SET THE RULES!
