Re: [Digital BW] quality prints for gallerys

2005-06-07 by jonnytenz

Hey J Vee,
I'm glad to hear this. Personally I prefer silver gelatin for B/W
but as I said I have come across some very beutiful color ink-prints.

Only I think it can be over done sometimes. Like when I went to see
some color photographs of ERNST HAAS , at a local gallery in nyc.
I was familar with the work they had-
from books and web sites,- and I remembered that he used a very 
strick dye transfer proccess that was suppose to be time consumming 
and expensive. Well the shots they had of his were great, except that
 they looked more like paintings with a very heavy coat.

 Yes they were beuiful but not what I expected.
 But again I am glad to read that ink-jet prints are becoming more
 exceptable.

 Thanks for the good word.
J Ten
