Digital BW, The Print

The only thing that looked strange was there was some white text in  
the image, that fogged out (blur edges). I here the price range will  
be over $300 for a 16x20, but for those labs that have had a Lightjet  
for years it may be less since they have recouped the initial cost so  
far. One lab is using a new fiber base processor designed by Hostert  
(I think) otherwise you would need to guess where to cut the roll so  
you can tray or trough process by hand. Did I mention we are talking  
about 60" wide rolls right now?
