Digital BW, The Print

Hi Allessandra,

The Lambda can be used to expose different types of photographic material like C-print (Fuji, Kodak), Ilfochrome Classic (Cibachrome) and Ilfochrome Flex.

With all of them I had very good results.
I scanned my BW negatives in 16 bit Greyscale. Converted to RGB and than converted to a custom profile I made from a test target printed on the Lambda.
I very much like the Ilfochrome. 
But if you do not like its super gloss and metallic-like tones this would not be your choice.
Also the Ilfochrome B&W images suffer from metamerism, so when the image appears neutal under daylight it will be a little brownish under tungsten light.

Best regards,
