Andy;

LensWork's editor Brooks Jensen's initial review of my work was via  
inkjet prints. It was from that review that I was asked to submit  
work for publication, so I guess the answer to your question is "yes."

I ended up ftp-ing him digital files for the magazine, as he was  
concerned that scanning the digital prints wouldn't work well, but  
that, of course, wasn't a problem.

He recently noted that when he attended Photo Lucida ( http:// 
www.photolucida.org/ ) as a portfolio reviewer this spring, that out  
of 30 portfolios he reviewed saw only 2 photographers who were using  
silver prints; the rest were using inkjet. He saw that information as  
a sea change. The times they are a-changin'...
