I've been a really harsh critic of digital printing for years but I 
have to disagree based on some recent prints I saw from Paul Roark. I 
believe that we finally have a medium that can produce a truly fine 
print (especially under glass in a typical viewing environment) and can 
be accepted as a fine art print.  Yes, you need a drum scan and some 
significant photoshop skills as well as expensive inks and paper but 
that is nothing compared to what I spent on my 8x10 and 4x5 capable 
darkrooms in the past. <G>
