Digital BW, The Print

I've recently been involved in starting a gallery and a "Digital Darkroom" rental 
studio here in Cleveland OH.  For an upcoming show, all three of the photogs 
choose to print their B&W images on the 4000 using black ink only (OEM 
Epson ink) on Enhanced Matte.  I have ImagePrint for the 9600 and showed 
them how to use it, but they all ended up preferring the "look" of the black-only 
prints.  I have tried black-only myself on the 9600 and only like it for certain 
prints (hence ImagePrint).  But I have to say, for the work produced for this 
show (photojournalistic style documentation of the communities around each 
stop of the Cleveland train lines), black-only works really well.  I still probably 
would have used ImagePrint if these were my images, but I was surprised at 
how good these photojournalistic images look using black only on the 4000.  
The "Digital Tri-X" characterization is accurate IMO.

If anyone is interested in seeing a complete show (over 60 images) printed on 
the 4000 using black only, the show is at the Gallery of Photographic Arts, 
2512 Church Ave., Cleveland OH (216.861.3062 for more info).  The show 
opens next Sat (Dec. 11) at 7pm and runs til Jan. 29.

(I assume this plug for the show is acceptable here since it lets people know 
of an opportunity to see the black-only workflow in real life with a variety of 
images.  If you have any questions about the Gallery, the Digital Darkroom, or 
this upcoming show, you can reach me directly at chipcarterdc@...)
