Re: [Digital BW] Re: Black & White Fine art book printing service?

2008-05-15 by Bert Katzung

I know nothing about this vendor or about commercial printing of 
photographic books, but I know a little about general commercial printing. 
In that area, "4-color" means "full color" as opposed to only one or two 
tints other than black and gray. A 4-color press is definitely _not_ what we 
inkjet users think of as 4 color inkjet printers.
So their claim to make "finest 4-color prints" may simply mean that their 
machines produce full spectrum images. You would have to see samples to 
evaluate the quality.

Thanks for the pointer,

I checked their website. Their claim to deliver "Finest 4-color prints"
does not give me much confidence but I mailed them and asked some
fairly straight questions about their B&W performance. I'll await their
response and will keep you posted.
