Digital BW, The Print

What you folks want is Dan Burkholder's book "Making Digital Negatives
for B&W printing" from www.danburkholder.com

His techniques are very well explained, work very well, are
inexpensive and produce beautiful prints.  I should know - I've been
using them for years.

All of the work in my book "Celestial Nights"(Aperture) was printed in
this way.
