Digital BW, The Print

I'd say two issues, that people have seen their dotty inkjet prints fade in a couple of years, and 
that there is a perception that the mechanized process allows one to run out tens of thousands of 
prints like an offset press. It doesn't matter that they can't see rosettes of offset screens, the 
opinion is formed before they look at the image itself.
