The real point here I think is not that inkjet is not real or less legit.
But that a "traditional" print can be just as easy and "instant."
And Jim gives Ciba as an example which adds quite a few minutes onto the
equation over other color and certainly black and white automated tube processing!
With a nice enough Jobo and a print dryer you could forget you are not at your
computer doing E-mail and cloning with Photoshop! I'd love that! All those
options Jobo hass. I'm just a little reluctant to turn over my 35mm film for it
to turn over: continuously. But you're a Jobo guy Austin!
