Digital BW, The Print

I'm surprised you aren't putting something together for his Paul with
all these new papers out there, like the reasonably priced Ilford Gold
barita.

 As shown by that series of Leonard Jazz images that the guys at
IJC/OPM did, it certainly can work. They had a "custom mix" of the
UT-3D inks with a glop in an old Epson 9000 if memory serves me right,
and they were spectacular on Silver Rag. I believe the 30x40's in
edition are selling for 20 grand each.

They adjusted the color to match old Ilford silver paper and it was
just to the warm side of a pure neutral, similar to Cone's K7. I
believe they used 4 or 5 values and a glop. Must have been MIS PK. I
don't think he told me he was spraying them. I lost his email and I
can't even remember the guys name. Those prints had people talking.

There certainly has to be something more impressive on the horizon
than Epson K3 and AB mode on these more tonally dynamic papers.
