Digital BW, The Print

Ken,

I bought two of Lenswork Quarterly "special edition" prints that are on
Ilford silver paper from a contact neg done using Burkholder's method. They
scan a finished silver print and work from there which seems less than
ideal. The quality is excellent though and I would not be able to tell them
from a standard enlarged print. I believe the key is to get the imagesetter
output up to 3600+ dpi. So it can be done. Maybe it would be worth
contacting Lenswork and seeing which service bureau in Portland they use.

Please let us know if you pursue this.

> I have had some success with imagesetter and inkjet negs for pt/pd, but
have never really tried it for silver.  I would be interested in knowing if
anyone has had success with silver paper.  The WC paper for pt/pd hides a
lot of flaws.  It seems the cost of film output is coming down, and I'm
skeptical that an imagesetter or inkjet neg would have the tonal range and
detail needed for fiber based silver prints.  But, Dan Burkholder's book (
www.danburkholder.com) holds out hope and I would appreciate hearing from
those who have tried.
