Digital BW, The Print

Thanks for the comments. I agree with you 100%. I am not trying to fool viewers, just trying to get better prints that would be closer to the platinum look. There is nothing like the original.

Several other subscribers have answered this, and with answers that I can agree with. However, if what you didn't ask, but may have meant to, went something like "can you fool people who are familiar with plats with a digital print," then my answer would be:
at three feet and under glass, yep, most of the people can be fooled, but not at 3 inches.

In fact the plats printed over the past 30 years don't match those printed around the turn of that last century. 

In 1970 I was lucky enough to get 3 platinum prints that had been made around 1910.

The prints I have seen current workers doing do not match those from a hundred years ago, they barely make it at the 3 foot test.
