Digital BW, The Print

Just received my Print Exchange package and I am very impressed and 
pleased.

First thanks and three cheers to Shaun for making it all happen! Hip! 
Hip! Hurrah!

Also special thanks to Bernd Langmack who sent three versions of his 
image MIS FS with the Epson driver, MIS FS with the Piezo driver and 
Piezo ink with the Piezo driver. Carolyn Frayn who sent four prints 
showing what can be done with the Epson 2000P and Epson color pigment 
inks. Paul Roark who sent three prints showing different tones 
achievable with the MIS VM ink set. Jeremy Cox who sent two prints 
showing the range of Lysonic E inks using a custom profile on Arches 
Hot Press paper and with a different profile on Epson Photo Quality 
Paper.

Aside from the wonderful and varied pieces of art in this portfolio, 
this represents a remarkable set of first class example of what can 
be obtained with a wide variety of tools and materials. I count at 
least 6 different ink sets, 14 different papers and multiple 
combinations of drivers, printers and workflows. The collection is a 
testament to the current state of B&W print production using inkjet 
printers. While there are differences between the processes they are 
much less than what I imagined and all of them are fully viable as 
expressive, artistic mediums.

Thanks to all who shared their vision.
