I'm sorry Jerry, but Peter is not right. One can make money paying $5-$6 per 17x22 inch sheet. > Even if I was wealthy, It would be hard to pay that > much, because they aren't worth it. They are overpriced. Jerry, Make no mistake about it, I'd LOVE to pay $2 per 17x22 inch sheet. But paying an extra $3-$4 per sheet does not make it unprofitable. I've read you constantly complain about the price of these papers. You feel that they are grossly overpriced and that you have limited funds. Fair enough. But in the same light, I've read about your acquisition of a 3000 and a 1200. I've read about your ordering Fotonic Inks, MIS inks, and Mediastreet inks. I've also read about your consideration of a Nikon film scanner. Now considering that the Silver inks have been available from US distributors since before the availability of the Fotonic inks via UK to US gray market (and you paid a premium for them), and they are practically the same, if money was such a concern I don't understand why you didn't save a pretty penny and get the Silver inks. My point is that your money issue seems to be conditional. When it comes to new toys and ink, you willing to foot the bill. But when it comes to the media that will be delivered to the paying client, you object and claim that if you could sell a print for $500 it may be worth it. We'll probably never agree on this, but I think the cost issue you raise over an additional $3-$4 per sheet is legitimate, but certainly not significant. If in fact there are other papers that provide all of the same qualities has the more expensive paper, then we'd be fools for paying the additional sum. But it has not been proven to my satisfaction that other less expensive papers do match all for the qualities of the more expensive papers. > Competition > will bring the prices down, we just have to wait a bit. > > Jerry > - > * Dygraphics is proud to introduce Somerset Photo Enhanced!! * > * This unique coated paper is now available in limited quantities. * > * Order on-line or by phone 888-786-8832: http//www.dygraphics.com * > === Explore potential income opportunities with Greer and Associates at http://www.ibocity.com/greeraa.
