Digital BW, The Print

The current issue has a print by Stu Levy from his featured portfolio which is beautiful.
He gives, along with Don Kirby, a yearly workshop at Shore Acres in Oregon which is well worth the fee. My wife and I have both taken it.
I've mentioned it before that Lenswork now puts out a subscription CD called Lenswork Extended thatgreatly expands the number of images in that months' portfolios and they really glow on the monitor! try it , you'll love it.

Subject: RE: Matching the tone of lenswork magazine?

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.
