Well actually most folks who have actually tried don't really feel inkjet
digital negatives are ready to compete with silver negatives. I have an Epson
1160 with pigmented inks and as a tool to make negatives for contact prints it
still does not come close to what I get with a pyro developed 8x10 or 8x20
silver negative. Perhaps someday but not yet.
Until then is it too much to ask that the discussions leading up to that point
be held among those interested in that topic? Setting up a kill script for the
word "epson" or "inkjet" seems like such a waste when there are groups of rabid
inkjet fans missing out on such interesting topics...
