Re: [Digital BW] Digital B&W Printing--Which method?

2004-09-16 by Maris V. Lidaka Sr.

What platform and what printer and ink and paper are you using or want to
use?

Do you print for yourself or for sale?  What quantity?

We need some more detailed info to be responsive.

Subject: [Digital BW] Digital B&W Printing--Which method?


I've researched myself into a corner. I've read about Piezography,
MIS, Quad Tone RIP, Black Only printing and now I'm really confused
as to which way to go.

K.I.S.S. was created for me. I'm not all that stupid, but I like to
keep things "simple." I'm not too technical. On the other hand, I'd
like to obtain the best looking print I can. I know, it's hard to
have both. At any rate, my priorities are:

1. Image quality
2. Simplicity of workflow
3. Longevity
4. Cost
(Have I overlooked anything?)

Some of these systems appear to be very complicated, more so than
wet darkroom printing ever was. So if any of you have a suggestions
and/or opinions on this, I'd love to hear them.! Terms of Service.
