Digital BW, The Print

This was mentioned on another list. Looks like output onto genuine (Agfa) FB
paper. My German is rusty but I guess some folks may be more fluent. Anyone
local care to give them a try and report back? <g>

Hi Julian, hi all, 
I allow myself (being german) to step in and translate:

What they offer is to develop digital image data on true Baryt paper 
(in a chemical studio). They "project" the image data with a laser at 
3000dpi onto the paper and then put it into the chemical developer.
You've got to give them the Data in 300dpi and they send you the 
traditional print.

The prices are all but cheap however: up to 30x40cm = 54 Euro, up to 
40x50 = 67 Euro, up to 50x60 = 105 Euro. Umm... If you want more than 
one print of the same photo, for the second, third etc. the price is 
lowerby about 20 percent.
They have an introduction offer to print a max 30cmx40cm print for 29 
Euro plus 8 Euro shipping. Still a lot, but maybe I will try to find 
my best photo and send it to them :-)

regards Bernie

Well, since I am German I took a look at it.  These guys say they 
have figured out how to expose traditional paper with their "special" 
laser.  From there on the process is just straight, traditional dark-
room method.  You can have your print selenium toned if you want for 
an additional charge.  They charge around US$ 65.- for an 8x10 image.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
