I tried and used all sorts of inter-negative approaches to silver
prints for several years before inkjets were any good.  Some were OK,
most were not, and all added a few steps of frustration, cost, and
compromise.  Having now gone through the various stages of inkjet
development, and having studied the alternatives to death, I must say
I have no desire to do silver printing any more.  Aside from the fact
that some collectors may prefer them, they are inferior to what we can
now make with the best inkjet technology.........................
