Digital BW, The Print

Tim,

I will start digging through the stacks. I like to save all my photo 
magazines for times like this but have no good filing system. I have 
promised Steadman also so I guess I better get to it.

If anyone out there remembers the article, date, etc. please let me 
know.

We would need to get the publisher's permission to post it, which I 
can ask for. However, getting a copy would be the best as it has many 
images in color showing the different tones he achieved.

I think that this is a technique that is over looked. It also has 
great importance for new photographers who want to explore B&W but 
may not have the resources to add extra printers/inks to their 
equipment list or send their work out for Lightjet output. It should 
also be printer independent. Epson has dominated the art print area 
with good reason but the duotone method should be usable with all 
brands.
