Digital BW, The Print

I just have to agree with Sexton. I used to shoot Tri-X and
then along came T-max. I never could get prints from T-max to
look the way I wanted them to. One day I was talking to my
Kodak TSR about this and he said I was trying to make T-max
look like Tri-x. The light came on. I'm not trying to make
inkjet look like silver gelatin. To me that's a step back. I
view inkjet as just the next progression in printing
technology and I want to take it as far as I can just as
Sexton and others have done with silver gelatin. If I want a
silver gelatin "look" I print silver gelatin.
