Digital BW, The Print

Hello,

I just read an article in the Professional Photographer Magazine about
Milton Greene and his photography.

His son has been a Beta tester for HP for the last two years and is
restoring a lot of his fathers photographs and offers the service for
others.

The printer he is using, HP DesignJet 5000PS, starts at $12,000 and goes up
to 18,000.00 US.

He is using Hahn....Albrecht Durer WC paper and photo rag.

They quoted results from Wilhelm for the 200 years.

Regards,

John in OKC

Subject: [Digital BW] Epson vs HP for fine art bw???


| Hello all,
|
| I just stumbled across the details for a Milton Greene exhibit in the UK.
| Apparently these are bw ( and color ) prints that were printed on
Hahnemuhle
| papers (on whose site I read this). But the surprise is that they were
done on
| an HP printer.
|
| Are we too entrenched in the Epson camp to notice other printers? Does
| anyone have pluses and minuses for HPs and other alternatives?
|
| Here is an excerpt:
| >>>Having taken hours of digital retouching in some cases, Joshua Greene
| has found a solution for outputting these prints onto Hahnemuhle Digital
Fine
| Art papers using the Hewlett Packard Designjet 5000PS printer, which with
its
| UV inks combined with the Hahnemuhle media will last up to 200 years, much
| longer than a traditional photograph.

| Any thoughts?  Nij?...
