Digital BW, The Print

> How's the dither? Is there a website?


John,

the last time I made dither comparisons, I saw that IJC was a bit "noisier" than 
ImagePrint but that was with non photographic files, i.e. photoshop generated 
scales. I am told that this was a choice for IJC  based on what worked best 
with real images. 

I have found out  over time that what we commonly call "dither" in bw is made 
up of a combination of (a) actual device dots, (b) the dither algorithm in the 
software and (c) how the gray inks are partitioned.  You can't beat the first but 
you can do a lot with the last if you can make your own profile and control the 
inks. So, how inks are separated to make the grayscale has a big impact on 
whether you see dots or not. I'd say the biggest - but that  subjective.

There is no website for IJC that I am aware of.
