Digital BW, The Print

John, last I heard Ataraxia was no longer doing these due to lack of
materials. To my knowledge Tod Gangler here in Seattle is the only one
left in the country doing them, and he has to make his own materials.
I don't know if he printed the Brandt show but I could find out. He
did print some color for Sturges as well when Ataraxis stopped, but
they were 9600 UC prints. Tod is an amazing printer. Sturges has since
taken everything "in house", UC all the way at least for color.
