“A fine art photographic print
is an image that is printed to exacting standards, so
much so that it cannot be reproduced by any other means.”
While my print standards may be extremely
high, and not necessarily a reflection of the needs of
the average photographer, what certainly can be said
is that high print quality will bring out the best of
any photographer’s images.
Digital monochrome printmaking is the “Achilles Heel” of digital
printmaking technology. While the human eye is sensitive to colour in just
the upper zonal levels of a print monochrome images command the entire
zonal scale. The battle in digital color photographic printmaking is the
use of colour management and obtaining a good colour match, while the battle
in monochrome photographic printmaking is the reproduction of all the zonal
values - from extreme black, to spectacular white, with full fidelity in
the middle - all that whilst maintaining neutrality and fighting colour
casts, metamerism, bronzing, etc.
