Folks,

Given we have this discussion regarding ink jet vs wet print creating a basically
"real or not real print"  I'd like to add a comment that I don't think I would have
earlier on the basis of a "mechanical printer".

Until seeing B.D.'s ink jet prints first, then being caught up in the beauty of
Tina's piezography prints, followed by the wonderful copy of Johnny Deadman's out
of this world piezography print from "Human Traffic,"  I can only say the quality
in the piezography prints is absolutely a match for many fine art prints I've
handled or seen hanging in galleries. And I'd have to offer without prejudice,  the
piezography print of Johnny's is far superior to many fine art prints I've seen
over the years!.

Until you've held a 11 1/2 X 17 piezograph print, you have no idea how incredible
the results can be. And if you weren't told it was ink jet printed,  you would  by
feel of paper and look of image,  believe you were holding a wet darkroom, out of
this world print created by a master printer. Accept the piezograph would be
better! ;-)

That's all,
ted
