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 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
