I guess you can include me out.
My name is Mark Rabiner and I am a farily well respected print maker.
I've been printing inkjet for a few years now no one has complained.
In the past 1.5 years since I've been in New York I don't have a darkroom I
have a very small apartment.
Which I've not minded as my darkroom in Portland I'd not used in years my
Epson's have gotten lots of use commercially and in gallery type shows.
There may be one or two other people in my position.
People without darkrooms ...
Who seem to think what they have been hard at work doing for years is "ok".
I shot with my Rollei the first few months I was here in Manhattan but not
sine or I'd have contributed to the RUG book.
May I respectfully suggest that a print of an Epson 3800 on 100% rag beats
an RC print out of the water by a million miles?
But what do I know? I've only made tens of thousands of RC prints over
decades and hundreds of inkjets over the past one.
