Absolutely.  Although I would not want to mix silver prints and inkjet
prints in an exhibit (two different things), I am struck by the way
differences fade when a print is under glass (or plexi in my case).  Once a
(non-photographer) viewer is involved with the image, I doubt there is much
interest in the process anyway.
