Digital BW, The Print

Guys, It is apparent to me, and I am sure to you, that for quite some time
the driving force behind this has NOTHING to do with fine art printing but
acceptable level out put for the likes of P of PA, etc. If the market was
being driven by fine artist, Lightroom would function for us. Plug ins
wouldn't crash when presented with a file that we use day in and day out,
and prints on paper would come much closer than they do to "matching" our
beloved old friends from the wet side. Papers wouldn't yellow when mounted
on a "standard" archival substrate or they would be marketed as a pair or
new paradigm. 

 

We have being dealing with compromise for years; making the best we can out
of inferior material and methods; some with greater success than others. It
will be a few more years before we have in hand, and practice with, a new
set of materials that truly allow for fine art prints to roll out our doors.


 

Keep the faith brother artists,

 

Eric

I think that's probably right, because it's not only the bronzing or
GD. There's just something about the way these pigments sit right on
the surface instead of being taken in a bit that seems less than elegant.

Not really sure, but it's just not all adding up to 110% yet, after
all it's quite new still.

Bill... where we stand? We'll be standing? Won't there be cots or
something? Lawn chairs perhaps?
