I don't know, but I think even the epson has a LONG way to go before it can compete with the 200+ years of permanence of a selenium toned black and white fiber base print : ) Although I would HIGHLY reccommend epson for any inkjet or "desktop" printing that needs archival quality. I only have an OLD epson stylus photo, it is FAR FAR FAR from being archival, but the quality of print even with black and white and duotone is way better than that of other printers of "equal" caliber. ....Maybe if it is not too expensive, you could have your images output to film, then make an acutal print from those digital negatives. just thought I'd throw some ideas into the mix.

The ONLY postwork is brightness/contrast/burn/dodge.....just like in a real darkroom....matter of fact I actually used my old print record to re-do this digitally.

I love the composition of this one. the tilted perspective gives it that through the "childs eyes" feeling. I think the exposure is just a bit dark. Otherwise I really like this one.
Thread: try this agaon. No. 2 | Forum: Photography
Another nice shot. The only thing I would have changed is maybe show all of the tattooed dood. If he was not cut off there I think the image may feel a bit more whole.
Thread: And finally | Forum: Photography
Great choice of subject. I like this shot, but I'm not sure how I would like to see the composition. I've always been picky about splitting the frame in half horizontally or vertically though. Looks like you have a firm grasp on your exposures. Great tones. Were you in a boat, wading, or lucky enough to be on shore?
Thread: Yngwie... | Forum: Photography
Very cool. This reminds me of an actual technique called something like kerillian photography or something like that. Can't remember exactly....but they are very similar and actually do use the subjects natural electric conductivity to make the image. Yngwie is a musician I haven't heard of in quite a while....Thanks for reminding me, now I'll have to go dig through some of my old tapes ; )

The best thing you can do for your black and white photography is to learn the Zone System inside and out. If you can get into it and completely understand what Ansel is talking about, you can get the most out of ANY film you choose. And the best part is, It works for digital too......it's just applied a little differently. Oh yeah, don't forget about different developers and development times/temp. These choices make a HUGE, HUGE difference as far as grain and contrast. My preferred choices are: T-MAX 100 and 400(sheet film only) Ilford FP4+ 125 (35mm bw) T-Max 3200 (great for indoor/ stage lighting ie. concerts) Developer of choice is always Kodak HC-110. It has a lot of control to it. Several different CHARTED dilutions for different films/grain/contrast. I Highly reccomend this stuff. D-76 aint bad either.
