I print about 300-400 8"x10" per year on an Epson R2400 pigment inkjet
printer. I file the prints in acid free sleeve protectors in very large 3
ring binders. Everything gets printed on Epson Ultra Premium Glossy for
purposes of 'filing' these images. All my digital files are backed up on two
additional hard drives plus DVD. (that's how much I trust those media)
A lot of the recent work, unfortunately is not Rollei- captured, I
expect to start scanning a large number of my Rollei negatives next year.
I printed with wet chemistry off and on for 40 years. After a back
injury made it impossible for me to be bending over trays I was fortunate
enough find digital printing. As much as I loved results of 'wet' work, it's
nice that I will be able to continue printing no matter what limitations age
brings.
I've gotten somewhat skilled in Photoshop and find that I use the same
mentality as I used in the darkroom. If you know what good print should look
like in wet work,. you will no doubt be able to create them in digital
printing as well.
It's not rocket science.
