Digital BW, The Print

Martin(got it right this time)
The David Fokos Light Jet prints I saw were I guess a semi matt not glossy, 
just standard non glossy RC color print surface. It was the Tone that made 
them so spectacular and rich looking. Pretty damm amazing for prints on color 
paper. Yes this is the same David Fokos from the Bostik and Sullivan site.
My original work flow was printing silver from 4x5 LVT negs on t-max 
film.Some images I've had negs made 3 or 4 times. There is only one black and 
white digital neg provider in My area and they have not been sharp lately. So 
i need another sourse that is no more than 100.00 per 8x10. Now I try to stay 
with Straight Piezography inks and driver on an Epson 3000 and I'am testing A 
MIS hextone workflow on the Epson 7000. Looks pretty good but not as nice as 
Piezo yet! I do love the Piezo inks and driver I just have to work a lot of 
things out with the 7000 MIS combo.

<< 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?
