Digital BW, The Print

Many people don't realize that the total market for the Fine Art Inkjet
paper is less that $20 Million.    Could be a bit more but I doubt it.
Regardless of the size there are far too many players for any of them to
have the economies of scale that they need to truely drive the cost down.
 
Same thing happened with Silver Gelatin paper.
 
In any event I am comfortable with the prices for these GREAT papers and the
large variety that is out there.

I guess they figure, that if you can afford the ink you can spring for a bit
more and buy the paper : ) 

I have a pack of the glossy, that I am waiting to load a few sheets after
the expo.

John, thanks for the heads-up, let us know what you think.
Yup, price is a bear on all this new stuff.
