But There's a new semigloss paper which would fool anyone into thinking it's a wet darkroom print. I think Ted is using it. If the new "borderless" papers which are Epson papers which come in 8x10 and 11x14 sizes were more available I'd perhaps do more inkjet. As is I'm lucky now to have an ideal darkroom and i like to take advantage of it. I may not have it forever. Behind glass i don't think you can tell. I thought the recent Salgado show was inkjet. It turned out to be darkroom. Mark Rabiner Portland, Oregon USA http://www.markrabiner.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
