Digital Silver Imaging: True Black & White Prints, Not Inkjet "Black & White."

How does DSI's black & white print-making compare to other printing methods? We employ a true photographic chemical process in the development of each print - not a color or inkjet process.

Here are a few of the advantages:

• No Tone Disruption. Inkjet printers build black & white tones by laying drops of ink on a paper's surface, leading to unrefined results. DSI uses a light source, exposing a silver gelatin layer within the paper to produce a true continuous tone from shadows to highlight.
• No Color Variance. Color RA4 printers rely on color dyes to replicate black & white tones, so blacks and grays often have a hint of other colors (magenta or cyan). DSI's print process is founded on light, silver, and chemistry. Blacks are 100% black, grays are fully gray, color shifts are non-existent.
• No Ink Reflection. Ink pigments reflect light, resulting in unwanted glare or metamorism across your print. With DSI, your image emerges from the paper itself, not from a compilation of ink on paper, so there are no unexpected bursts of light.
• No Unwanted Texture. In order to address the challenges of photo printing, inkjet paper manufacturers have begun producing a special photo inkjet papers with a matte finish. However, these papers come with an issue all their own - unwelcome texture.
• No Questions about Longevity. Fiber-based black & white prints are proven to last over a hundred years. The inkjet process has existed for a fraction of that time. Why take a chance that your once-in-a-lifetime image may end up short-lived?
