Digital BW, The Print

There will be, if not already upon us, a self limiting aspect to ink jet
printing; the age of the equipment used to make it. I can still easily print
images captured on film from the 20's  with my old omega enlarger, but try
duplicating an ink jet print made 5 years ago, and things start to get dicey
quickly. As for making them all at once and then trashing the file?  That
too may be made moot by simply hanging onto them. Migration of image
information forward will be a constant problem for the digital artist and
printer. A quick look back at dying technologies of Zip drives, floppies,
and early  CDs that lose their information will start haunting printers and
photographers soon enough. 

 

Live for today, print for tomorrow, and raise a glass to 2006! Happy new
year!

yeah, now there's a severely limited edition, their checks!
To answer the original post, I don't destroy the original, as I very well
may "forget" that 
first limited edition and have to do another limited edition.

The reality is, everyone does whatever they want. These destruction rituals
always seem a 
bit much to me though, so... artistic...
