Digital BW, The Print

Stephan,

Not to worry. This is exactly why the list was created. Want to look 
at ALL the options to get a B&W print of any kind out of a digital 
file!

Inkjet is the major interest at the moment but I really welcome 
people who what to talk about getting back to silver or platinum or 
photogravure or whatever.

I'm really interested in what Allen comes up with for silver contact 
printing and the work Phil Bard is doing with A&I to get a 4x5 silver 
neg for enlargement from a high end film recorder. Also a possibility 
for a silver contact neg up to 8X10 maybe 11X14.

My darkroom (such as it is!) is right next to my inkjet. I could see 
myself doing both.

So keep the questions coming and let us know what your up to in this 
regard!

Thanks,
Martin Wesley

purpose? Do you print on pictoro transparent media? Dye based inks 
would sound preferential in this regard. Do you see a benefit from 
hex vs quad tones for this specific purpose? Which printers are 
prefered, 3000 with larger dot or 1280/1200/7000 with very small or 
variable dots?. For printing on silver, in which every defect shows, 
how close is the quality to what one gets with a diffusion dither 
image setter output (3600 dpi or so)? At the risk of being booted off 
this list, I still lust for the look and feel of silver prints! 
Unfortunately, I lost my virginity to photoshop.
