post modem .. just past the library
you can gather a stack of words packed full of ideas that can lead you or trip you up. enlighten or confuse
the way out of the thicket is go further; be strong enough to know when to leave the bush that doesn’t feed.
a burning bush is just that — danger!
image aspirations —
paths away from their origin.
corran makes water on rock pictures. where he started, he stayed., holmburgers: wanted to make original Klutes… he never did
destination was picture– one got there, the other did not. c wanted the standard picture of the forum he went to; chris didn’t. he started after a picture type; one doable with dye transfer. he got a major re-alignment — no longer doing pictures; gave up on dye transfer.
the pictures they wanted, working with another’s imagination, someone else’s process.
a mask– first mistake is to call it ‘correcting’
it is a piece of film atop another. it increases density, firstly.
they do not have to be silver, they can be colored, can be made of color film
what happens when you ‘print’ a c-41 neg onto a c-41 negative?
how will that ‘print’ look?
They are called “chromogenic,” or “type C,” because that is what Kodak called the 1950 printing process. They are called “Lightjets” because Cymbolic Sciences got there first. They are called “digital C’s” as a product neutral designation; a way to distinguish them from inkjet prints. The labs using these machines are major users of silver based photosensitive paper. They keep the wide papers being made. Narrow paper is used by the scrap-book, duplication systems at drugstores.
Printers include the Cymbolic Sciences Lightjet, Durst Lambda, and ZBE Chromira.
The Lightjet was introduced in 1996. It is laser based, as is the Durst Lambda, while the Chromira is LED based output. Lightjets were the most expensive at introduction, and now are the least likely to be used because of their high maintenance costs. They do provide very wide output along with being reasonably sharp images. ZBE claims they provide the highest resolution of these three systems.[https://www.zbe.com/5×50-printers/]
Durst’s main site no longer lists their Lamda. Print systems don’t wait for the past. https://durstus.com
And Cymboli Sciences is a division of Oce. {https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LightJet}

This post is just another plug into the leaky rumor which is the Film Net of Larger Format and Photrio. Most mistakes seem to be outright lies; lies designed to explain, to defend a long held belief. Unfortunately, once a failure, always a failure. Even in fantasy, a failure. Wiling away the dreary life of filling order sheets for the door store —
