Digital BW, The Print

Jo,

Interesting observation about the metamerism of the Ilfochrome material.
I've never seen any metamerism using the Fuji Ultrachrome material. If fact,
I've never seen any kind of metamerism in any kind of photographic print
material, only in inkjet prints.

I wonder what is so different about the Ilfochrome material?

Best Regards,

David R. Spielman

  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,
