"...The Scribe was a craftsman, and sure, art could play a part. But in all printing, it's always 
been a craft. The primary effort is to reproduce faithfully and art has nothing to do with that."

Yes, printing has always been a craft, but I don't agree that art has nothing to do with it, 
especially if you're printing your own images. Printing is also interpretation. There are many 
ways to print the same negative. Who was it, using a musical metaphor, who said that the 
negative is the score and the print is the performance?
