Digital BW, The Print

I cannot see how any print can have tactile qualities if it is stuck up on a 
wall, in a frame and behind glass.

Subject: [Digital BW] John Sexton's comment on B&W print


John Sexton wrote recently in his newsletter:

"To date I have never seen a black and white print from the digital domain
that rivals the sensuous and tactile qualities of a well-crafted black and
white silver print."

There were many this kind of comments two or three years ago but not a lot
lately, especially from a heavy weight b&w printer. Anyone coming from both
domains (analog and digital) care to share some experiences and observations
on this?

After so many years of hard work of many talented people, and companies like
Epson and HP, is today's best digital print still lack of those "sensuous
and tactile qualities of a well-crafted black and white silver print"?

Thanks,
