What customers have to say about Digital Silver Imaging

I wanted to extend my deepest thanks to you and your team for helping me with the nearly useless photo you restored for me. My boyfriend and his dad loved it and it meant so much to them! It was amazing how much of the image you were able to salvage and I am grateful that you were even willing to try especially given the short notice. Many thanks!

Man they look awesome. I used to be a pretty good black and white printer…Then digital set in 10 or so years ago and I did not touch my darkroom. I got used to the bluish grey color my lab put out. I sent those same prints to my lab and they said that the contrast was off and would not look good. So I called right away and had Digital Silver Imaging do them, They Look awesome. I forgot about the real blacks and mid-tones in a real print. I am blow away. It would be great if the images did well in competition but I learned where to go for real black and white prints.

…Got the prints last night. Absolutely fantastic. I love them. Your lab does an amazing job, everything from packing to turnaround and shipping.

I have just received my picture order this morning and the pictures are awesome. Your work is better than any that any of my previous color labs have ever done in my 30 years of photography. I had one done at a lab in California last month in color and yours are so much better that I wish I would have done that one also in silver.

I received my first prints from your company…I am thrilled. It is wonderful to see my images as silver prints rather than inkjet…my main regret in moving to digital.

I got your package last evening and opened it and found it to be tasty, a good old Miles Davis tune "Tasty Pudding", and thats what it was, it was tasty pudding

Just wanted to thank you for the beautiful prints. I have to tell you I am quite amazed at the quality. I have been very against digital black and white because I felt the prints could never look even close to film. However, these are perfection. (I don’t say that lightly, I am so very picky about printing) The fiber one is just beautiful!

The new scan of the Darjeeling garlic-selling woman is great! Innumerable scratches were removed using your wet scanning... I’d like to bring you my entire album of negs…Thanks again for a good job.

My client and I are absolutely thrilled with the prints. Your craftsmanship and quality resembles the best of ‘old days’ of wet darkroom prints. You’ve nailed down your niche. May you strive and achieve greater and greater success.

I had the pleasure of working with Eric while at ILFORD Photo and more recently as a client of Digital Silver Imaging (where he printed some photos for our exhibit at the PhotoPlus Trade show). During our long association, Eric has demonstrated the rare combination of professionalism, attention to detail and excellent customer service. Combined with a wonderful sense of humor and a sharp wit, I find him a real joy to do business with. I would recommend his services without hesitation.

One objective of trying your service was to see how this would compare to the Cone inks that I use. Another was to satisfy my curiosity about the hybrid process and finally, I just wanted a traditional print. But in the end, a fiber based print from a master printer is tough to beat. The print you did for me satisfied all of my objectives plus I have a beautifully printed photograph to show off. Your printmaking skills make the difference; I am very pleased with the results. Thank you for the great service and fantastic product.

Digital Silver Imaging is the black and white lab professional photographers have been waiting for since the digital revolution began. With DSI’s commitment to photography and excellence in the truest sense, photographers can now rely on the beautiful end result of the printing process with archival fiber or rc prints. Owned by Eric Luden and managed by Jay Gaffney, DSI also has the expertise of over forty years combined experience from these two photographers who know the industry from both sides, and images are printed as if they were printed for themselves. You can’t ask for more than that.

I have know Eric for many years as a colleague in the photo world. He is an enthusiastic and knowledgeable printer and has created stunning images for me at Digital Silver Imaging, bringing out detail and lightening shadows that I never thought possible from a digital file. I would very highly recommend Eric and Digital Silver Imaging.

Eric and Digital Silver Imaging are doing great work with the baryta based Ilford paper for the lambda machine. It’s a great solution for digital image capture to be printed onto a true black and white paper.
