Re: [Digital BW] The Holy Grail?

2003-12-12 by J Vee

I am a long time traditional ³Carbon² Printer.  I shoot 4X5 or 11X14, drum
scan, Photoshop, print a 20² X 24² glossy on Colorspan 11 color printer,
mount on vacuum frame and shoot an 11² by 14² neg with a hoiz process camera
on rails.  Finest result you can imagine when this neg is used for the
contact printing with the traditional process.  J Vee
