Digital BW, The Print

I have found a new Holy Grail.

By making digital negatives with an inkjet printer, and taking them back
into the traditional wet darkroom, I have made many fine prints on
air-dried, glossy fiber paper.

With digital negatives, you have the best of both worlds. You have all of
the great silver papers that many have come to love, and you have  the power
to modify and manipulate your images in Photoshop in ways that even the old
darkroom masters could not hope to achieve.

Best Regards,

David R. Spielman

  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.
