I have no idea what you are talking about with the OT jokes here, but I do get the paper blues man. Has the industry pushed it on consumer or is it a reaction to consumer demand? Bill was mentioning the need not to compare Ink jet to silver gelatin or PT/PD prints? Why not? That is where most of us have come from spare a few that never knew the joy. This is the new toy in the image box. I tried very hard lately to get across to some very digitally minded soles that there still are a few of us that have working darkrooms. I live in both worlds, but I think neither is as strong as it could be. Some very nice silver gelatin papers and films have just gone away and soon some nice ink jet papers will too, only to be replaced by the next generation of papers. It will be a few years yet before you can walk out the door today and know that when you walk in the studio tomorrow your favorite paper is still available. And that your ink set that you spent hours upon hours testing and tweaking is still flowing through your printer. Could it just be another way to get you to have more stuff?
