It is not a total Digital world:

Seems like everything is going digital these days. For us, you just can't beat film, slide film that is.  I have not seen a digital camera (at least one that I can afford) that can reproduce the colors and shadows that film can. Where we do differ is once the photo is taken we then digitize it on Nikons newest high density scanners.  We shoot both 35 millimeter and 4x5 inch field cameras. My 1950s Pacemaker Speed Graphic is still a great camera. I would not part with it for anything.  The duct tape not only holds parts of it together it gives it that personal look.  The only difference is that I do use new Nikon lens with it.

PRINTING:

We use both the Epson Stylus® Photo R2400 for smaller prints and the Epson Stylus® Pro 4800 plotter for larger prints. These revolutionary printers deliver large, archival prints worthy of gallery display. Their professional level ink set, the 8-color Epson UltraChrome K3™ inks, includes three levels of black and sets a new standard in fine art photography and black and white prints.

With its expanded ink set, these printers ensures a wider color gamut and superior midtones, highlights, neutrals and shadow details making it ideal for professional quality prints. With their Black, Light Black and Light-Light Black inks, we can easily achieve amazing black and white prints. And, since the inks are pigment-based, they deliver fade-resistant works of art that stay brilliant for up to 108 years in color and over 200 years in black and white.¹

The Epson Stylus® Photo R2400 delivers studio quality results on virtually any artistic media. Three convenient paper paths support matte, glossy, canvas, roll, posterboard, and many artist papers, so it's easy to expand your creativity. And, with its powerful production speeds, the Epson Stylus Photo R2400 lets you create brilliant displays in no time at all, and quickly move on to your next show-stopping exhibit.
 

PRINTING PAPERS:

We only use EPSON made inkjet printer papers. An inkjet print is the product of a closely interrelated system of printer, ink and paper working together. Epson does extensive research during all stages of product development to optimize this system to ensure high levels of both image quality and print permanence. Products from third parties labeled as "compatible with" or "suitable for" are often one-size-fits-all claims that rely only on the lowest common denominator. While there may be certain combinations of third party ink and paper that yield acceptable results on certain printers, there are numerous examples of prints made with combinations of ink and media that will produce poor image quality and/or lead to print fading in only a few years.
Should Every Print Last Forever? A recent study showed that 72% of consumers think a photograph should last forever. But photography is not only about memories or fine art exhibition. Often one does not know the importance of an image until many years have gone by. And often our most treasured images are displayed for long times in a wide variety of environmental conditions that may prove to be detrimental to prints. When Epson pigment inks are used as directed with a wide variety of Epson media, these prints will have better print permanence than any Eastman Kodak silver-halide or dye-sub color print. Conservators have recommended that even for short-term display, or when the desire to save a print is uncertain, it is always best to frame all types of images behind glass. Framing behind glass provides protection against accidental spills, fingerprints and exposure to a wide variety of airborne pollutants such as cigarette smoke and cooking vapors.
