Digital BW, The Print

Hi Paul,

Welcome to the list! You, your methods and their absence from the 
Piezo list are a big part of why this list is here.

To answer your question on the topic, we are somewhere in between the 
Piezo list and Digital Silver. Looking to focusing on the output 
options available for B&W digital including all the inkjet 
possibilities, LightJet, LVT and contact negs for going back to 
silver from digital. Even turned up a link to Mr. Strange Ross in 
Denmark who is making digital contact negs to make plates for 
photogravures.

No hard borders. Things like scanning are hard to totally remove from 
printing. The usual but hope to pull in all the technologies 
available. I'm sure if you have a chance to browse through the 
threads you will get an idea of where we might go with this.

In any case we look forward to your input and are ready to start 
throwing questions in your direction.

Thanks,

Martin Wesley
