There's no such thing as a "digital output device." All output devices are analog. You can output digital images directly to silver prints, if you wish. The fact that an image is manipulated in the digital realm is unrelated to the way in which it gets printed. > There is a dynamic depth and richness to a good silver print > (Cibachrome, Monochrome, or whatever), that just cannot be > obtained by splattering ink onto the surface of some paper. Hmm... maybe. But that is completely independent of whether or not the image is digital. -- Anthony
