All in a black clothbound portfolio. The printed volume includes the introduction and essays; the mounted prints constitute 22 separate versions of a single image, manipulated to demonstrate various print processes. "Each of the 22 versions of the image has its process identified in relief on the mount. The book contains detailed notes on each of the processes used in the portfolio. The main points under consideration are the suitability of the process for the image, the resolution, the surface and relief qualities, the visibility or invisibility of the dot, the way the ink or dye sits on the paper, the archival stability under daylight conditions, and the influence of the substrate in conditioning our response to the print." Limited to an edition of 100 boxed sets; each numbered and signed by the artist. The text is bound in black cloth, stamped in white. The prints measure 23 x 35 cm., mounted on 41 x 51 cm. boards. All in a black cloth Solander box. This portfolio is an in-depth study of the digital print. It aims at trying to keep the image constant, but all printing requires interpretation and an element of subjectivity is left in the hands of the printer. It allows for a meaningful comparison and foregrounds the physical differences between each process at the highest possible quality.
