You are correct, quality is the reason and the images produced from digital worked images(film/scanned and corrected in Photoshop) and printed on inkjet are better and infinitely repeatable than any chemical color print I have ever had made. > But if speed and or > cost is an issue, I would think that a Digital Darkroom is the way to > go.

Cost comes into play only when you factor in the savings by you preparing the file over some lab trying to meet your requirements for the image several times in traditional lab work. And the cost saving on multiple print orders is impressive. Speed giving my client a test print that is damn good is worth a lot. > > Sam > > P.S.
