Digital BW, The Print

The lightjet can make beutiful black and white prints. A good profile is 
needed. I make my own profiles with Colorvision's Profiler Pro software. The 
profile is made in color. The file is converted to grayscale and then back to 
RGB. A good profile will yield a really neutral tone.  The downside of the 
Lightjet is the paper choices. You pretty much get a glossy and a matte. I use 
a technique on the Lightjet that works really well. I choose "Color Range" in 
Photoshop and select the midtones. The selection is then feathered 5 pixels. 
The unsharp mask is then used with these settings:
Amount 20
Radius 60
Threshols 0
This really adds some punch. The same technique is then done on the 
shadows. This works really well on Inkjet prints also.
