Free 8×10 B&W Fiber Print for M Monochrom Owners

May 21, 2014 by Digital Silver Imaging

We want to give all Leica M Monochrom owners a FREE 8×10 silver gelatin fiber print. No other camera is such a perfect match for our hybrid digital to analog print process. What’s so great about a Digital Silver Print from Digital Silver Imaging?

• We use real silver gelatin, light sensitive, black & white photo paper
• Never a color cast (c-41 processes, such as Fuji Crystal Archive and Kodak Endura can’t make this claim)
• Lightfast
• Emulsion based process produces prints with depth and nuance
• The gold standard in archival longevity
• Preferred by museums and collectors

This video explains our process in more detail

How Do I Get My Free Print
Simply go to our upload page fill in the required fields and simply type “Free Leica M Monochrom Print” in the “Other Instructions” field.

Preparing Your File for Print
To achieve the best possible results follow these simple steps in preparing your file.
• Start with a calibrated monitor. Most uncalibrated computer displays are set to maximum brightness, this will produce a very dark print.
• RGB files work best, although grayscale will also work. Using a program like Nik Silver Efex or MacPhun Intensify Pro produces excellent results.
• Save your file at 100% of actual size at a resolution of 300 ppi
• Use JPEG or TIFF format (either format produces identical results)
• Exif info data on the file must verify that the image was created with a Leica M Monochrom

How Your Image Will Print
Please remember that an 8×10″ sheet of photographic paper does not correspond to the proportions of the image sensor on your DSLR or a scanned 35mm negative. If you do not crop your image to an 8×10 format before you upload we will print it full frame as in example A Full Frame.

If the image you upload is cropped to 8×10 it will print with a 1/8″ border as in example B 8×10 Cropped.

Terms: Free shipping of prints in the United States and Canada. Shipping outside the United States and Canada is possible but will require a shipping fee. One free print per customer and per camera. This offer has no cash value and may not be redeemed for cash or credit. Not responsible for prints damaged in shipping.

Big Silver Gelatin Prints Kickstarter in the News

May 3, 2013 by Digital Silver Imaging

Recently posts of Digital SIlver Imaging’s “Big Silver Gelatin Prints” Kickstarter have appeared on a number of blogs and web sites. Among those posts an excellent recap of our project was written by Eileen Fritsch on her blog Great Output. The site is a valuable source of information and news geared toward professional and fine art photographers. The frequent posts are well written and concise. No fluff on this site.

John Neel, author of Rethinking Digital Photography, and frequent contributor to the site Pixiq also posted a story about “Big Silver Gelatin Prints.” In reference to our Kickstarter, Neel wrote:

“This is a great photographic Kickstarter project that will allow giant sized black and white images to be printed from digital files. Who wouldn’t like a giant black and white image that was produced on real gelatin silver paper. IMHO, there is nothing quite like a real B/W silver based photograph. I for one, look forward to the possibility of having a few of my images printed this way.”

Pixiq is a gigantic site with articles on almost everything including, equipment reviews, techniques and commentary. Most of the contributors to Pixiq are published authors and true experts.

Great Output and Pixiq are both sites worthy of a bookmark. As a photographer you can never have enough good information.

Kickstarting Bigger Silver Gelatin Prints

April 22, 2013 by Digital Silver Imaging

We hear it all the time, “How large can you make a black & white silver gelatin print?” Today the answer is 20” wide; soon we will be able to say “big, really big.” Digital Silver Imaging has contracted the construction of a one-of-a-kind black & white print processor. This monster will allow us to make large silver gelatin prints up to 48” wide on 50” paper.

To make this possible, a larger laser exposure unit, and a darkroom to house the equipment will be needed. A project of this scale requires some investment. We hope to finance this project through a variety of source including Kickstarter. For those that don’t know, Kickstarter is a website where you can fund a project like ours and in return receive “rewards” in the form of products, benefits and thanks. Kickstarter is a great way to help and get some cool stuff at a bargain price.

Our rewards include discounted black & white silver gelatin prints in a variety of sizes up to 48” wide. Other rewards include signed prints by photographers, Herbie Greene, David Beckerman, and Keith Johnson.

Some of the rewards include:

$28 – 8×10 Black & White Silver Gelatin FIber Print ($38 value)
$45 – 11×14 Black & White Silver Gelatin FIber Print ($68 value)
$75 – 16×20 Black & White Silver Gelatin FIber Print ($125 value)
$199 – 30X40 Black & White Silver Gelatin FIber Print ($399 value)

Keep real black & white silver gelatin prints alive and well by supporting our Kickstarter campaign. Find out more about our campaign by following this link.
