Digital BW, The Print

Presumably your Lab will have a profile for their particular Lightjet
printer and can provide this to you for soft proofing.

Subject: [Digital BW] Black and white Lightjet prints

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.
