Digital BW, The Print

Everyone,

I won't have anything to report on the tests I'm conducting with A&I 
until early next week.  I spoke with them moments ago and they said 
film should be ready this afternoon, but I'm off to the Piezo Summit 
and won't be able to pick it up.

Point of clarification, apparently the digital negs they produce for 
enlargement purposes are created not on the Lightjet but a (Fuji?) Film 
Recorder 2080.  The Lightjet outputs Duratrans (as well as print 
media), but not camera film, and therefore is not suitable for my 
purposes.  Sorry for the misinformation, my initial meetings with them 
took place along with a fellow photographer who is testing their print 
output, and the specifics as to what device was doing what were not 
clarified.  I'm now dealing with the operators and getting my info 
straight from them.

They have stressed all along, however, and I should make this clear, 
that the initial phases of this process take time.  Everyone's film and 
enlarger combination is a bit different and they have to make several 
runs to get into sync with their client.  You would have to expect the 
same should you decide to go this route.

Have a great weekend, and I'll see some of you, no doubt, in Oakhurst.
