Re: [Digital BW] Lightjet for b&w

Calypso Imaging has better LightJet prices if you prep your files first by
applying their profile in photoshop and save them as TIFs. But I don't think
they have true monochrome paper. Their output quality and service is first
rate.

There is a lab here in Denver, CO that prints Lightjet to Kodak black
and white paper. They are true silver prints. The only drawback is they
only offer them on RC paper and only one paper surface, semi-matte. I
have not used this specific service but the lab in general is
excellent. Here is the link.
