Scanning for quality

Yes Chris, I compared them.

 

I not only have a working wet darkroom (quiet for awhile now, but still there), and I collect signed prints from master photographers ... which are hanging all over my home as a constant reminder of what a B&W can and should look like.

 

The Holy Grail for inkjet printing for me is to approximate that look using high-end scans of film shots. The closest I've come has been Imacon 949 scans printed on Crain's Museo Silver Rag: 100% cotton Gloss finish (more like a Luster) @ 300 GSM ... which has the double weight heft of a good silver print and actually looks very close to a silver print ... well ... as much as can be expected sans the silver : -)

Marc, sounds like you're getting close on equaling a silver print. Which printer are you using? And also, can you recommend a place in US for drum scans?

Thank you for your input,

John
