Bruce, Todd Gangler here in Seattle is one of the only (perhaps now
the only) people making tri-color carbro prints left n the world.
Near Ciba gamut and density on beautiful Magnani fine art papers, no
glitzy gloss or fake surface.
Incredibly beautiful, and inherently photographic. I've never seen
anything like them, perhaps old dye transfer.
I've heard people say inkjet prints on art papers are not photographs,
as though only a photo paper surface is a photograph. I honestly don't
know what they mean.
Anyway, in terms of the nature of the media, it's whole new world in
my opinion. But as above, the marketplace may dictate otherwise. Also,
I think other inks need to be developed. Lyson dye or even Epson dye
prints on the same fine art papers blow the UCs out of the water, but
of course don't have Wilhelm's blessings. Mine either I guess.
