    Thats not true Rand. Any image that can be reproduced via inkjet would be reproduced demonstrably better by the C-type print process. On the rare occassion I have done pieces for sale that were from digital files, I have done professional C-types and they are stunning. What's more they are recognised as a legitimate media for fine art photography.

    The reason people don't do C-types is that you have to pay a professional photographic lab to develop them for you, and that obviously costs money. A C-type will still be here hundreds of years from now as its the basic silver gelatin photographic print process.

    If I was to offer any of my work it would be as C-types but as that would cost me to produce, the price would naturally be higher. But I believe a higher price for 'art' in a quality format is justified and selling bubblejets as art at art prices simply isn't.

    • sorry, I meant as opposed to slkscreen
