Photos: Smithsonian-worthy printer

National Museum of American History Director Brent Glass, Nash, Steve Boutler, curator Shannon Perich and Holbert pose with the IRIS printer when it was donated in August 2005. Also pictured is the first photographic print it produced: a print of singer David Crosby called The Man Jan Sees by Nash.

Nash Editions used its tweaked version of the printer from 1989 through 2004 to produce high-quality black-and-white digital photographs.
