Paul and Mike, 

I completely agree with Paul's points below and have an interest in the same end-results.  

Nicely put Paul.

  Mike,

  I think it is very appropriate that digital negatives be discussed on this
  list.  In fact, I have had some contact with another list member who is
  interested in a dye-based, Piezo-compatible quad so that we could use the
  Piezo driver to output the digital negatives.  I think that could be a very
  interesting way to go if it works.

  I agree that the traditional -- silver and platinum -- prints are probably
  going to be preferred by a number of galleries and collectors for some time.

  Actually, I have something of an ulterior motive.  If we have a reasonable
  way to make the "traditional" products with our digital files, I think it'll
  focus the "anti-digital" arguments into the categories of, first, the
  objections based on longevity (really an objective problem we can deal with)
  and, second, those objections that are based on the mere fact of a digital
  step.  Frankly, I think a lot of the objections are in this category.
  However, if they can't tell the difference, and if we simply label out
  prints as "silver" or "platinum," it should make life a little more
  difficult for the anti-digital bigots.
