  As a matter of general interest we have a Mario Testino exhibition on at the
  National Portrait Gallery here in the U of K.
  Now by any standards this is a prestige related situation as the NPG houses
  a substantial collection of pic's from the 17th century onwards, so we are
  talking oils here and famous oils at that. Kings, Queens, good, bad or
  indifferent, there they all hang just waiting to be looked at.

  Some of the great Testi one's images are inkjet - or I'm a dutchman - mighty
  big too and so far all the reviewer comments have been positive - mind you
  no one has asked for my opinion yet so for a more a balanced view you will
  all have to wait, and for a very long time I might add.

  No doubt, and once the old show closes down, someone or two will make an
  offer for the inkjets - indeed I doubt that the buyer would know they were
  inkjet because at the viewing distance required (lets talk 12 ft) who could
  tell.
  If one found it necessary to close right in and view the image using a
  suitable magnifier then one might be accused of being less interested in the
  subjective than Mr Testino would wish and were he present at the time no
  doubt he would fetch the viewer a right fourpenny one for being so
  presumptuous..

  Incidentally I am off to Florence this weekend and by using  the quite
  amazing Kodak Technical Pan Film, I am expecting to return with some of the
  old worlds most stunning landscapes which in turn will be produced using the
  new worlds most stunning A3+ landscape output device, namely an Epson 1290.
  Once the world becomes aware of my work, I have every confidence that the
  kind of money offered will make it possible for me never to have to return
  to this newsgroup, sorry but there we are, that's life.
  Mind you anyone interested in learning new things could always buy my book

  "How to produce the worlds most beautiful Gicle's using a Canon EOS 3 and an
  Epson A3+ printer"

  It's a long title I know but then it will be a long book, like A3+ in size.
