Digital BW, The Print

It's not often that I find myself able to contribute anything useful
to this forum.  I simply don't do enough printing.

But I can suggest with reasonable authority (my Bachelor's degree was
Classics):

atramento sparso

Doesn't sound as good as the previous suggestion (maybe like you're
skimping on something), but the grammar is correct :-)

Being very much an amateur I'm happy to say that most people I show
prints to don't care about how they're made, or what they're made
from.  They just look at the picture.  Sometimes they're interested
whether they're digital or 'real photos'.  But that's about as far as
it goes.

What I think is great is that I can produce archival prints without
having to worry about whether my fixer was off or my bottle of
selenium toner is too old.  For someone doing irregular darkroom work
 this works out quite expensive.  And there were always too many other
things to worry about.

Anyway, as more people produce great work using this medium I'm sure
acceptance will build.

Good luck

Chris
