Hey Texans... I'm Looking For An Expert Printer

[Scott Rosenberg]

good day...

i'm located in dallas, texas and am trying to locate an expert print maker. i need to have this print made.

i made one exposure for the subject and another for the sky. i can put them together pretty easily for the web, but need to find a printer capable of doing this well in the darkroom. the original was shot on 4x5 neopan across.

i'd definately be willing to drive a bit if the best option was outside the metroplex.

thanks!
scott

Sorry, Scott, I can't help with a local printer. I did vote for that image over on the other forum, though. Very, very, nice work!

hi rich... thanks for the compliments. i've comitted to getting this thing printed for a customer of mine and really wanted to go the traditional darkroom route. if i have to go digital and do the masking myself, that'll be no problem, but i figured someone on this forum might be able to help me out.

we'll see...

You might also ask over on the APUG group. Or maybe you have - I haven't been there for a day or two.

[Scott Rosenberg]

forgive my ignorance, but what is apug?

can those little, wrinkly dogs really use computers?

Scott, did you receive my e-mail?

Scott have you tried BWC photo imaging at 4930 maple ave. in Dallas? I have all my large and medium format work done there and have been happy with the results

[Scott Rosenberg]

thanks for the link, rich. i'll be sure to check the apug site too.

i was wondering where you were! nope, i didn't get an email from you. please forward it again - sometimes the spam filters remove 'friendlies' too.

i've had some work done by bwc in the past. it seems like they always find new ways to disappoint me. they are actually making a few lightjet prints for me as we speak. as long as i do all the preflight work, it's tough for them to let down. i might bring the negs in with me, i usually goto the north location, and talk to them about their printers.

when i first moved out here i found a print maker down near competetive camera who did a FANTASTIC job with a couple of tough negs. unfortunately, i can't seem to locate him now!

I live in Ft Worth and can handle up to 5x7. My email address is click76112 and might be interested in giving it a shot.
