Re: B&W on LightJet/Frontier?

2003-03-04 by mh <mh@toomanyartists.com>

I am reposting this with a better subject:

> It appears that reedphoto.com does print on traditional Black and White papers with their Lightjets. This is the first company that I have seen that does this and wish more would. I assumed it wasn't possible since I had never heard of a company doing it. Given the relatively low cost for a Frontier, I would have thought a lot of labs would have dedicated one to black and white printing. But I guess everyone is happy with B&W on color paper; yet another "improvement" digital has forced upon us.

 I would be fine with color paper if it had a coating that looked like 
fiber B&W glossy. Neither Glossy or "semi-matte" in Crytal Archive look 
right for any B&W image of mine, even toned or duotoned.  Anyone know 
if Fuji makes a true matte color paper?
