Mark I agree with all you wrote below and feel the same way about rolls versus sheets. I like to print them one at a time and look over every single print carefully before printing another. Steadman

Steadman,
I know you're kidding, but honestly, I *do* feel differently when I'm
printing on single sheets than when I'm using roll paper. I like
the whole process of walking over there and separating the
interleaving sheets from the printing paper each time, and then
force-feeding into the 7000.
When I use rolls, it feels like I'm "a company". Or a service
bureau. It's a different feeling. I kinda feel like I'm cheating when i
use roll paper.
It seems almost silly to mention it, but when I saw that ad in
Lenswork about "Hand pulled Gravures" I thought the same
thing -- I thought, "Well, hell, I hand-pull my inkjet prints just like
this guy does. But the word for my process just isn't as
romantic-sounding as his".
And even sillier to mention is the sheer fact that in the art/gallery
world, some of these linguistic things probably have an actual
impact. And so, to me, the sooner that we all can alter this
connotation about inkjet, the better off we'll all be.
