Digital BW, The Print

Mark 
I agree with all you wrote below and feel the same way about rolls versus sheets.  I like to print them one at a time and look over every single print carefully before printing another.

  Steadman,

  I know you're kidding, but honestly, I *do* feel differently when I'm 
  printing on single sheets than when I'm using roll paper. I like 
  the whole process of walking over there and separating the 
  interleaving sheets from the printing paper each time, and then 
  force-feeding into the 7000.

  When I use rolls, it feels like I'm "a company". Or a service 
  bureau. It's a different feeling. I kinda feel like I'm cheating when i 
  use roll paper.

  It seems almost silly to mention it, but when I saw that ad in 
  Lenswork about "Hand pulled Gravures" I thought the same 
  thing -- I thought, "Well, hell, I hand-pull my inkjet prints just like 
  this guy does. But the word for my process just isn't as 
  romantic-sounding as his".

  And even sillier to mention is the sheer fact that in the art/gallery 
  world, some of these linguistic things probably have an actual 
  impact. And so, to me, the sooner that we all can alter this 
  connotation about inkjet, the better off we'll all be.
