The Art of Black & White in a Digital World

Custom Printing

Extraordinary Black & White Prints

The fusion of modern digital technology and true silver gelatin fiber printing. We use a Durst Theta 51 photographic laser printer that exposes Ilford silver gelatin papers at 400ppi. The RGB tri-color laser produces continuous tones and your print is processed in traditional Ilford black and white photo chemistry for a completely neutral image tone that is archival. No more unwanted color cast or annoying ink reflections on the surface of your prints.

Custom Black & White Printing Services

This is a truly collaborative approach to our printing process. We will work with you to achieve optimal quality from your digital file or scan. Ideal for the photographer who wants more time behind the camera shooting and less time in front of the computer monitor tweaking files.

  • RAW file processing
  • Color to black and white conversions
  • Cropping and resizing
  • Additional file manipulation available for an additional charge

Henry Wilhelm considers the black and white fiber based print as the "high watermark of photography in terms of permanence. The silver image itself appears black because the pure silver is not affected by exposure to light, unlike color dyes or even pigments."
