RE: [Digital BW] Matching the tone of lenswork magazine?

2005-07-26 by Steve Bye

LensWork is printed with a very high resolution stochastic screen using
duotone inks. They explain it in the back of the magazine, and may have more
info on their website.

It seems ridiculous to say but the images LensWork are as good as or better
than many silver gelatin prints I've seen. The latest cover art for LensWork
#59 is one of their best.

If you are not familiar with this magazine, you should check it out. It is
almost entirely B&W. While it is heavily dominated by silver gelatin, there
is a small amount of inkjet stuff.

Subject: [Digital BW] Matching the tone of lenswork magazine?

Howdy....
having a great time this summer with my 2400
I'm pretty sure that everyone is hip to lenswork magazine, and I am 
wondering if any of us has been able to get that color of print, using 
the Advanced BW mode of the K3 inkset. The warm setting is not quite 
it, so I am doing a bit of experimentation. I have a pretty nice 
setting of Horizontal =2 and verticle =10 that I like but it is not 
that lenswork color. That might be some kind of duo-tone that is way 
over my head, and might need different settings for the highlights and 
shadows. Anybody trying to get that vibe out of K3?
