I apologize for not putting this in the classifieds but it is a link to a post at The Online Photographer about Ctein selling his entire supply of color paper. Some here might be interested.

I have seen one dye transfer of his, in person. Simply awesome.

He's doing dye transfer and digital printing these days, I gather from his posts on The Online Photographer.

It's a shame that dye transfer materials are not available to buy off the shelf. Perhaps colour carbon printing is the real option these days aside from RA-4, Ilfochrome, and inkjet.

does he JUST print HIS photographs? Or, would he be open to printing dye transfers on a COMMISSION basis? i.e. :taking people's negs, masking, printing, making matrices (the works) for a price?

on his site he mentions having "mortgaged myself to the hilt", we could have him print some of our BEST negs, maybe under guidance...

just an idea.. you think he'd do it?

AFAIK, he did it in the past, but you'd need to have deep and full pockets to make it happen.

[David A. Goldfarb]

Yes, he does print for other people, but I gather he is fairly selective about the commissions that he accepts.

David,

I would imagine... he doesn't want to see the materials go to waste :o

I wonder if he's paid off all the materials purchased through his print sales?

I think it's more about working with people whom he feels compatible with personally and aesthetically, and for whom he thinks dye transfer is the right medium. He mentioned on The Online Photographer at some point that he's been receiving a lot of donated materials recently. He made a low-cost dye transfer print offering and thought he was going to use up a substantial amount of his supply, but he ended up with more than he started with.
