Re: [Digital BW] print sales - longevity claims?

2001-12-19 by Scott Hendershot

I'm sure it would carry a premium as all of the other inks do. But imagine
an inkset with truely neutral tones and all of the longevity and density of
a Silver print. Maybe even the ability to selenium tone the prints. That
would be worth a premium to me. Not sure just how much of a premium, but I
would pay at least as much as the Piezography B&W inks.
