While i am sure this is true i have yet to talk to any serious B&W 
photographer that will tell me an inkjet print is better than a rich, 
well-printed fiber-based print. Lots of people have explained to me how it 
is easier, cheaper, "good enough", etc., but i dont hear the word 'better' 
very much.

For the record, i am doing way more digital output than wet darkroom these 
days too, but i still think that a well printed silver print still looks 
better than a well printed inkjet print. Anyone disagree? Maybe that will 
change, but for now......
