Digital BW, The Print

I feel some sense of outrage at what they are doing.  I think it's because I believe that Ansel would not want to be associated with a copy of a print.  If he were still around I think he would embrace top notch neg scans and first rate digital prints.
 
But, what Mathew is doing is not progressing the art or science of photography.  He's just turning out expensive posters.
 
Also, who's going to buy them?  Not serious collectors/photographers.  And, they'll be a bit pricey for the average Joe/Josiphine.

Without sharpening it is possible ..... if the viewer is at a distance
that makes it a 4x6 again.
With sharpening the texture artefacts of the original print would be
visible but enlarged ......... if the reproduction step was good enough.

And it is correct what Tyler mentions on the use of the "quad" inks,
gloss uses only the PK, Gray and Light Gray on the Z3100.

There was a thread on this some time ago on the LL forum:
