I'm getting good results with digital and inkjets. But I put some of my better inkjet color images in a portfolio with some C prints I made a few years ago at U-Dev (which was a super color rental darkroom in Portland). The C prints stood out as better to my eye on various fronts. Whether it was a film/digital thing, I don't know. But it was enough to make me reconsider whether analog printing might be worth the effort. Stand alone, the inkjets look just fine. Maybe I just need to avoid putting inkjets side by side with chem prints.

After hearing him speak at several business conferences I believe it is both a personal choice as well as good for Fuji's business. Mostly on the printing side, he continually makes the point that prints on Fuji's Crystal Archive paper have a very good color gamut, extremely long life, are the easiest way to share images, and fit the needs of the vast majority of the world's citizens. At least as long as he is Chairman Fuji will be very much pro analog. I suspect based on space in Fuji's trade show floor that when he retires that will change a lot.
