>>4020116Inkjet prints look nothing like silver gelatin and that's before you even get to toning. They have a depth and texture that's unique and worth the effort. Wet prints can also be cheaper and you're only limited by the size of your paper and trays. Good inkjet photo printers expensive, large inkjet photo printers even more so, and are expensive to run. I like the darkroom process more than sitting in front of a computer and my cost benefit analysis came out in favor of pain. I also wanted to get into the pictorial techniques of Mortensen.
I'd absolutely do color with an inkjet but the process for silver gelatin is intrinsic to the result as far as I'm concerned and it would be like doing woodblock prints without a wood block and press.
