Good "analysis" Mark. Why don't we NOT say whether the print is
inkjet or darkroom and then really let the prints speak for themselves
instead of allowing pre-conceives notions/prejudices come into play
when the print is labeled as one or the other. I have access to a
darkroom and might go that route, or I may go inkjet digital (way more
convenient than the former for me). Or maybe 6 of one and 6 of the
other randomly mixed up..... thoughts?
