your experience runs counter to all the major fine art pros in my area. they
dropped wet prints en masse not long after the Epson archival inkjet
printers came out because the results were better looking and way more
consistent. just as important to the pros as better looking was that they
stayed better looking. the wet prints up on the wall for exhibit had a life
of a few months under gallery lighting before they faded too much to be
sold. Fuji Crystal Archival paper was better only by a little bit under
exhibition lighting. all of them still shoot film, but they switched to
digital prints early on. most of them acknowledge that digital is at least
as good as their film for most of their work, but still prefer film because
they have a huge investment in knowing how to get the most out of it. one of
the guys was featured in Outdoor Photographer a few months back and shoots
4x5 Provia or Velvia.

I've certainly seen my share of them, but remember what I do for a living,
and where I work.
So far, I haven't been able to get my istD images to match the quality of
the best colour printing I have done from film.
