ABOUT DUOTONE PRINTS: Duotone printing is a fine form of lithographic printing which utilizes the integration of two ink colors in the printing of black and white photographs. The process allows for precise and accurate rendering of middle tones and highlights in the photographic image - beyond standard photo-mechanical printing methods. The result is a fine print yielding exceptional detail and tonal graduations. Since 1960 Duotone printing has been selected (when budgets allowed) for special high quality publishing and portfolio projects requiring fine rendering of the photographic image. From Herb Ritts and Bruce Weber to Yousuf Karsh and Ansel Adams, many of the world's most renowned photographic masters have published their images in the rich Duotone process.
