Digital BW, The Print

I remember the first print I ever made with Piezography on my old 1200  
printer. I was simply blown away by the smoothness and shadow detail that were  
missing from my fb silver prints, air dried. I also remember doing a resolution  
by contact printing a target on those papers 15 LPMM was the best one could do 
 with a kodalith neg.
 
So, dot gain notwithstanding, anyone who has seen and inkjet print done  well 
would agree that it doesn't take a back seat to anyone's pet "historical"  
process. Edward Weston once said "I don't care if you make a print on a bath  
mat, as long as it's a good print."
 
Methinks most veteran folks here know what a good print is.

After  all these years of hard work, we need not feel inferior about
our tools or  process and avoid disclosure. The prints are beautiful
and have admirable  longevity.
Those who cringe when you tell them prints are inkjet have  some
catching up to do, and less than forthcoming behavior on our part  does
not help them do so.
Wouldn't it have been good for all of us if  that press release
proclaimed in nice proud verbiage that they are  inkjet?
