great looking b&w with MIS dyes

2001-12-26 by daschkenas

After a frustrating several months trying to get a great looking 
print with MIS color pig set, even with good profiles, I switched to 
MIS color dye set, and without any custom profile, absolutely 
beautiful , rich, three D looking neutral b&w print on LPM.
They look spectacular.  No posterization, no sharp jumps in tonality, 
no sacrifices, except in 25 years to 75 years, but you know what.  
For all of the silver prints that I have made over the past 30 years, 
not a one of them has been in a frame on display for 30 years.  Some 
images go on the wall for a few years, then get replaced with 
others.  Even museums that buy photography seldom leave anything on 
the wall for more than a couple of years.
I can live with this drawback untill a longer lasting dye comes 
along.  Its so nice to have that print come out of the printer, 1280, 
and say WOW.
