Digital BW, The Print

Hello David,

The chemical process of Ilfochrome Clasic (Cibachrome) and Fuji Ultrachrome are completely different.
I guess that is the reason that both materials react differently in terms of metamerism.
With  B&W prints on Cibachrome I see that neutral greys tend to look brownish when I view them under tungsten light. 
It is not annoying because your eyes adept to the different lighting but there is a visible shift in color which I do not see in a traditional fiber based silverprint when viewd under different light..

Buy the way: The same experience I had with my older Cibachromes which were produced in an analogue way from transparencies.

Still I think the Cibachromes produced on Lambda are great and they are well accepted by galleries and collectors because of there known archival quality.


Best regards,
