Digital BW, The Print

Clayton, Panasonic makes a 5000 degree large bulb for about $15 (the last
time I looked the Ott was roughly 5000).  In my studio I have an inspection
easel (just like the wet darkroom) with cool fluorescent, 5000, tungsten and
qtz display, so I can check out the image profile selected in IP in various
spectra.  Just like in the wet darkroom, fluorescent bulbs will tend to
excite optical brighteners, and putting the light source too close will
result in a print "too dark" in normal light, esp when glazed.  I even have
one fluourescent array esp for reading that is 2700 degrees, and nothing
will work with it!
