Digital BW, The Print

Hi B&W friends,

Concerning:	"digital silverprints"

Some time ago I have read a message about a digital B&W silverprint service from a German company.

I had a 30 x 40 cm testprint made from a B&W digital file by the company offering this service:
	http://www.the-imagepress.de/

The result is really amazing!
No comparison with my Epson 2100 prints!
This print is a real B&W silverprint on traditional photographic paper.
Perfect contrast and sharpness, no dots, no metamerism etc.
Unfortunately the service is quite expensive but if you really want a classic silverprint from a digital file this is the perfect solution.

On their website you can find some technical information:
	- Absolutely no dots
	- They use an exposure device with Argon laser
	- Exposure resolution 3000 dpi
	- Agfa silverprint paper
	- Traditional dish development, archivally washed and if requested Selenium toned

Some prices ( for first print, more prints are less expensive):

Up to 30 x 40 cm	40,60 Euro 
Up to  40x50 cm 	90,48 Euro 
Up to  50x60 cm 	105,56 Euro 

This is a real interesting development!
It would be nice if such exposing devices would be available at affordable prices.
I certainly would start using my darkroom again!
