Flutterby™! :

I (Dan) have mentioned a couple of times that I'm enjoying photography, and see the future of photography as digital, but digital printing technologies have a bunch of problems. Well, MIS Supply has a start, they sell waterproof and UV resistant inks for the Epson Stylus Color printers and, for you black and white nuts, have a 4 shades of grey cartridge and a link to ISIS which provides image management software to use 'em. So I've been looking for places to take the photography I've been doing recently, and rather than get involved in the whole optical reproduction cycle I've decided that I need to leverage my digital skills. Unfortunately, digital photography is still in its infancy and, for the most part, sucks. However, shooting on film and scanning gives reasonable data, and for certain types of output the results aren't too bad. The leaders in fine art output are Evercolor, and many of the landscape prints I look at are printed using their Luminage process. I'm not completely won over, I've found that for certain sorts of images I can identify a Luminage print at standard viewing distances, but they seem to be the state of the art right now.
