Digital BW, The Print

What Steve didn't mention, besides his name, was that on his website 
he talks about using a LVT for his work making totally incredable x-
ray, yes x-ray, images of flowers. Check it out. Some fantastic stuff 
there.

Steve,

That was actually me pestering Brian about all the neat equipment he 
has at A&I ( http://www.aandi.com/ ).

You also have some wonderful quad tone prints on your site. Can you 
give us a run down on the inks, printers, workflow you use?

Were the David Fokos prints on the glossy, semi-gloss or matte Fuji 
Crystal or is that an option. I saw some super glossy B&W from a 
LightJet a few years ago and up close had a super RC shine to it. Is 
this the same David Fokos that does the platinum prints from digital 
negs?

Thanks,
