Duane,
The technology changes for multiple reasons.  Some of it has to do
with marketing new products, and other needs to be met include new
ways try to match analog looking prints.  There are those who believe
that inkjet technology is a world to itself and analog is passe.  Some
artists like to copy or incorporate other art into their own, some
seek new media.  As an artist you must do what is primary in your
philosophy - be it art for art's sake or art for commerce, or both. In
any event, this forum exists to air out ideas referencing the
technology of the digital black and white print, so use what you have,
or chase the newest and use this forum to learn what's available.  It
seems that many of the regular contributors have different workflows,
and they all seem happy.
Keep making art and printing it!

Alan Berkson
