Digital BW, The Print

The main problem, as I have been told by Ilford and Kodak, is the ISO of 
black & white papers is way too slow, especially fiber base. Also I 
think the color LEDs, lasers, or whatever is used for exposure is not 
silver friendly, light/dark/contrast wise. There is someone in the US 
doing some sort of black & white printing on (again I think) color - 
black & white paper made by Kodak. Someone on this list should have the 
link since this has been discussed before. There is also a digital 
enlarger out there that basically replaces the neg stage with a 
translucent LCD panel. Quality is not suppose to be very good and 
limited to 11x14 or so and has a price tag of over $30,000US.

I have seen black and white prints made on a Fuji Frontier that 
knocked my socks off, but they are printed on RC color paper not real 
fiber base black & white paper.
