Digital BW, The Print

From:  john <deanwork2003@...>

But maybe someone is specializing in pod bw photo books. If not I wonder
why. 

It is my understanding that the machines they use are set up to be very
automated and have limited flexibility.
They all print color only, so when you send them B&W images those images get
whatever slight color cast the machine is prone to produce.
That's why intentionally "toning" your B&W images helps.

Good B&W reproduction requires duotones or tritones. The machines are
incapable of this. Entirely different process.

I would be delighted to find out I am wrong.
