Digital BW, The Print

Martin,

the Gigabitfilm available at Lotus View Camera. Best you contact Maja, she
runs
the business, at mlandis@....
During writing the article I did a lot of work with the Gigabitfilm, but now
I am back at the real large format, which means my 8x10" and 12x20"
cameras...

The figures mentioned in Photo Techniques I can´t comnment without having
read the article. On the other hand most papers for printing photographs are
in the 25-30lp/mm range, with the exception of Kodak´s AZO which definitely
is much »sharper«.

I´m just back from teaching a workshop for inkjet printing. The participants
did collect experience in scanning, editing and printing using inks made by
Triton and MIS and Piezo and got very nice results. Finally we did compare
the prints with 8x10" and 8x20" contact prints made on AZO. Everybody agreed
that the contact prints simply represent a different (higher) level of
sharpness and tonality - no surprise.

Mr. Ludwig of the Gigabit company hosts some very interesting written
material on resolution and print quality on his website. He is in the
process of translating this stuff into English language.
