Re: [Digital BW] Lightjet for b&w

2004-07-21 by Stephen Petegorsky

Clayton - At least at the lab I use, the LightJet uses color RC paper, and
there are only two or three choices of paper surfaces that they carry.  So
there is no VC filtration; the paper is exposed by laser or led.

All I really meant to say is that it was frustrating for me to find that
files I had printed in my studio as inkjet prints in which you could see a
difference between a 1-2% K and paper white, or in which you could see a
separation between 98% K and 99% K lost those distinctions no matter what I
did to the files that were printed as LightJets.

Best,
Stephen
