Digital BW, The Print

Indeed.  It is a little like pt/pd compared to silver.  For a long time I
printed silver, usually Seagull G or Portriga.  After printing pt/pd for a
while, I would go to an exhibit by an artist who specialized in ultra-sharp
silver prints, e.g., Howard Bond, and it was like looking into a
searchlight.  I recently had the opportunity to go through the 9/11 b&w
prints by Kevin Bubriski, printed on 20x20" silver by him.  They are
masterful, and I doubt that any inkjet process could capture the moments as
well.  But, I don't do PJ...I do abstract landscapes, infrared and such, for
which inkjet is well suited.  Like a very good gravure.

>>The highlights on this paper with the VM ink are subtle and
delicate. The highlights on Seagull can hit you in the head. There is a
difference and after a time I've have come to appriciate the strengths
of digital prints on matt paper.
