Paul,

I think you're right on track here. Trust me, as soon as these 
gallery people see any of the words "inkjet", or "Piezo", or 
anything remotely resembling digital, they cross their arms and 
you're out the door. I expect this to continue, if not even get 
worse.

Since I only use digital technology, sadly I am not even exploring 
the gallery/print sales thing any more. It's a dead end street. 
(Whether or not it's based in fact, because as we know, and Bill 
Clinton knows, perception is much more strong that actual 
reality).

So I'm going back to the commercial world.

So, for you guys, I agree, that as long as the PRINT is silver, or 
platinum, or anything but inkjet, I think you're fine. The final print, 
paper, is all they seem to care about. How you arrive at that end 
is your own business, but just make sure the print is silver. 
Otherwise, I guarantee you, you're in for a hard fight.

Just my opinion. I might be wrong. But I've seen it in the 
trenches.
