Recommend top rank B&W master printers

[7L73WPo4]

I have posted a similar question to this one regarding printing color images, and this one is specifically for B&W.*

I do have some black and white images that I would like printed by a master printer. One who can apply needed photoshop tweaks (mild color correction, dust spot removal, mask fine tuning, optimal output sharpening for their specific printers) and then print for me. I shoot medium format film and 35mm full frame digital, focusing mostly on street and landscape. I process in Lightroom and Photoshop. I have a color managed workflow FWIW.

Can you recommend a master black and white printer in the ideally in USA or Canada who is accepting outside work from amateur photographers such as myself?

I've been looking at Jon Cone of Cone Editions Press, for example.

I am willing to pay well for the talent.

Many thanks.

I'll toss my hat into the ring... I've printed for a lot of top photographers, including Richard Avedon, and been a specialist for many years.
Give me a call and we can discuss your specific needs, and see if there's a match....

Over the past year I have been making the switch from LF analog to digital black and white photography. I have printed a good number of my own images using the Cone inks. However, I have recently had need of an ink jet printing expert who has some Cone ink sets that I do not have. I wanted to see how certain images would appear printed with such additional Cone inks before deciding to add the inks to the choices that I have here.

In addition to the other excellent recommendations likely to appear on this thread, I highly recommend Ron at Infinite Editions in Denver. He is skilled in PS, completely honest, and a pleasure to deal with. His work is fairly priced, and his shipping charges are not "padded". He has access to the latest Canon and Epson printers.

I might add that he is equally adept at printing wonderful color digital ink jet prints.

I neglected to add that another possibility for black and white printing is to have your digital files printed via an analog laser printer. I hope that the mention of digital file to analog printing is allowed on DPUG!

Eric at Digital Silver Imaging is one of the few that has access to a fully functioning analog laser printer. He is also completely capable of helping with PS, extremely honest, and does excellent work.
