Digital BW, The Print

i have lurked here for years with only an occassional email to someone, 
but i understand your irritation, tyler . . . i would prefer to 
represent my work as exactly what it is and have respect for it in 
whatever medium(s) i choose, and hopefully it will last a reasonable 
time!       . . . rather than a photographer (though i certainly take a 
lot of photographs that i use in one way or another and sometimes as 
PHOTOGRAPHS!), i am a painter and used to be an etcher/etc/printmaker 
and i am having a grand time with my new tools . . . and that is exactly 
what all these things ARE . . . TOOLS . . . i have thought a lot over 
these years about what i will sign upon the final work and i used to put 
"Archival UC" since i use the 2200 and the inks are ultrachrome as they 
stand . . . i am thinking about putting "Archival Digital Inkjet CBTA"   
 . . . archival digital inkjet controlled by the artist . . . well, 
maybe . . . then again, i am still thinking on it . . .

thanks to all of you for your great advice (i just ignore the flame when 
it flares) and for your great work (and even lesser, but all is 
interesting in some way) as i look at it all a lot and store the pearls 
of advice in my head for the moment the need strikes!   jwp
