Lightjet for b&w

2004-07-20 by Olaf Ringdahl

I don't know if there is much interest in alternatives to inkjet printing but I am ready to try the LightJet route and would like to know if anyone out there who has gone that route has any advice that might keep me out of trouble. I know that LightJet, being a color process, does not easily produce truly neutral black and white prints. To improve my odds, I would like to start by finding a lab that is capable of producing good black and white prints, preferably (but not necessarily) in or near New York City. If anyone has had good or bad experiences with a particular lab or with LightJet in general, your comments would be much appreciated. I think they would also be of interest to others on this list who are thinking of trying this method.

Thanks.

Olaf Ringdahl
