Digital BW, The Print

This is part homework for most of us isn't it? I come here to learn, and 
sure, sometimes its reduced to chat, ultimately we each decide or own beliefs 
and truths.
and weed through the technical truths and outright bull :)
Why not post your thoughts on ethical printmaking? I think many would welcome 
your perspective. This "artist proof" rule would be of High interest.
Traditional printmaking rules and photography seem like a mismatch to me. You 
sound a little like the professor who's pissed at his students.
The galleries I work with handle new and emerging photographic work as well 
as established names, So what I have done is strickly at the advice and 
guidance of those dealers(being one of those new and emerging)So much for the 
learn first rule. I have come accross some very well respected photo dealers 
that didn't know a heck of alot about photography,as it turns out 
retrospectively. They do know how to deal with clients, and what sells.
