Digital BW, The Print

Well, another very successful user is David Fokos's. He uses Lightjet 5000 
output and the results are spectacular! I was fortunate to have dinner with 
him a couple weeks ago as he was in Seattle to open an exhibit. He uses  <A HREF="http://www.calypsoinc.com/data/lightjet.html">
http://www.calypsoinc.com/data/lightjet.html</A>   in California. He did say that 
he has never been to there lab, and all correspondence is done buy phone or 
mail. With some tweaks and plenty of returned prints they now know what he 
likes for tone. His grayscale images do have a color layer added by him, and 
his files are archived for reprinting. Color paper having batch variations 
occasionally he gets a tint he doesn't like. Seeing the prints I could not 
see a color cast I could identify, they simply look neutral. Its a beautiful 
tone and he did work at it. He is very picky about the tone. The web images 
I've seen of David Foko's seem very close to the tint of his gallery prints. 
Definitely no greens or yellows. They are much richer looking than the web 
images and many are 30x30 at close to 4 grand ea.  <A HREF="http://www.benhamgallery.com/exhibit/index.html">
