Digital BW, The Print

Ginny,

You might like to try Epson Ultrasmooth Fine Art as well as those
already mentioned. As far as I know, it is also sold as Premier Art
Hot Press – which happens to be available in more sizes. It works well
with Epson matte black. Clayton's density rankings are based on Eboni
ink, not Epson MK – I hope that he corrects me if that is wrong.

I also shoot 6x7 quite a lot, but with a Makina 67, W67 or Mamiya 7 II
rather than an SLR. TMX/T-Max 100 is my favourite MF B&W film, but I
also use Tri-X 320. I find Kodak Ultra 100 and Fuji Pro 160S to be
very useful films for digital B&W prints, with both of them having
very low graininess and around thirteen stops of usable range (I like
having detail everywhere on the print, even if it is very subtle).
Easy to get processed if I'm too busy to develop film – I just drop
them off at the local one-hour lab, which can develop 120 and 220 C-41
but not print it - and easy to scan well.

Best,
Helen
