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

I own a lab and I do both silver printing and inkjet printing. Both types of 
prints have there place. I agree with Sexton that a Silver print that is 
selenium toned has a depth and quality that is wonderful and inkjet prints have a 
way to go to match them. One great advantage with inkjet prints is a wonderful 
range of papers available. I love printing on 100% rag paper. I also have 
achieved some really beautiful inkjet prints. I have clients that use both inkjet 
and silver prints. Most of my clients will choose a silver print over an 
inkjet print for exhibitions. I get a great deal of satisfaction when I achieve a 
really fine inkjet print but I still prefer a silver print for my personal 
work. B&W inkjet printing is not that easy tho. As a last thought, I like both 
types of prints for different reasons. As a fine art photographer I will choose a 
silver print for my personal work. Times are changing and anything that can 
be used in photography is good. Steve Cohen
