Re: [Digital BW] Lightjet for b&w

Olaf,

At the studio where I work, our wedding black and
white prints/proofs are created with a fuji frontier
printer; and the clients have been very pleased with
the results.  Any enlargements are made through
www.whcc.com and our customers could not be happier.

When sending the files to print, our black and white
images are desaturated RGB files, not greyscale.  This
produces neutral images.
