huh? shel compares the best custom-made bw, done by great printers (i am sure he is one) to inkjets. it's like saying that swiss watch is better made than a seiko. duh! get a drum scan, print at a lightjet and then compare.
my comparison is a home-made inkjet to a lab print. at a similar cost. an inkjet usually blows away anything that comes from the lab. i don't see any decline or fall. best, mishka On 4/14/05, William Robb <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Mishka" Subject: Re: The Decline and Fall of the Photograph > > > compared to the printing that most labs do (including the "pro" labs), > > most digital prints are just plain gorgeous, BW or not. > > > > and no, not everyone has a (color) darkroom. > > So the failing of the photographer is the fault of the medium? > > William Robb > >
