A master printer and the lith printers guru, Tim Rudman is the man to ask about printing analog black and white photos. He has published 4 books to date on printing, toning, and lith printing. The books are a must have for any serious printer. I was honored to have served as his teaching assistant for his workshops on two different occassions at the Photo Center NW.
