It bothers me, too, but then he probably doesn't control his market. 
If he's an effective marketer, he charges what the market will bear 
in order to sell his prints. I suspect he would charge more for his 
inkjet prints if he thought he could get away with it in his market. 
It may very well be that charging any more for the inkjet prints 
would result in reduced or nonexistent sales.

Until the demand for inkjet prints increases to a point where it 
equals or exceeds the demand for silver prints, inkjet prices will in 
all likelihood lag silver prices. Granted, there are factors other 
than demand that affect pricing, but it is a buyers' market and, with 
exceptions, buyers currently tend to place a higher value on silver 
prints.

I'm looking forward to the day when this is no longer an issue.
