Digital BW, The Print

Given the physics of reflectivity involved for - different ink 
concentrations will have different reflectivity - I am wondering if the 
holy grail will ever be grasped. In the air dried silver print the 
silver was in the emulsion and the reflectance was mostly defined by the 
emulsions - the amount of exposed and developed silver determined the 
gray value but not the reflectance. With inks, the ink load seems to 
have a much larger effect on the reflectance. 

I guess the quest for the holy grail is what the adventure is all about.
