my friends in the fine art photograph print business will not touch wet
prints anymore. aside from technical problems of premature fading and color
accuracy, they don't want to deal with the hassle of someone else printing
their work. they aren't doing digital prints because of money, they're doing
it because they get better results more consistently, and also paying less.
we're talking 60 inch high prints by 80 or more inches wide. many still
shoot slide film, but once processed, it's digital all the way.

I'm in agreement, I still like using my friends darkroom but I'm very glad
that
wet printing isn't my only option these days. What I don't understand is
how
it's possible to avoid a bunch of intermediate steps if using film
processes to
create an exhibition print? I can only assume that your suggesting that
someone
else would have to create the print? Then the photographer would have to
be
hanging over their shoulder directing them or alternately leave the final
image
look to the discretion of the printer?
