Digital BW, The Print

You should give Bostick & Sullivan, a call in Santa Fe, NM at 505-474-
0890. They are one of the best suppliers of Pt/Pd and other alt. 
supplies out there. You want to ask for Kevin Sullivan. He will talk 
to you as long as you want, and answer all your questions. I am 
fortunate enough to live just up the road from their office here in 
Santa Fe, and he really helped me tremendously in the beginning, but 
I understand Kevin is helpful to all who call him. The one thing you 
need to get is a dedicated printer for dye inks, because pigment inks 
do not stick to the Pictorico clear film for making digital 
negatives. I would get an Epson R220 for this purpose.  It takes a 
lot of trial/error and testing, and keeping notes, but once you get a 
formula figured out for your own ink/printer/lighting exposure 
system, you'll be making really nice Pt/Pd prints on a consistent 
basis, without a darkroom. Good luck.
