He is untroubled, then, by knowing what he is talking about: Mr. Versace prefers inkjet printers because they can achieve the highest D.P.I., which stands for dots per inch, a common measure of printer quality. “The inkjet has got more color, more resolution,” he said. “Silver paper is the equivalent of 254 or 258 D.P.I., and that’s all it’s got.” A serious inkjet can print at 2,880 D.P.I. or even higher, he said.

Cheers,

“The beauty of digital is everyone can become a great photographer because of the LCD on the back.”

We're 10-12 years into the consumer digital revolution, and we're still hearing this, and we're still not seeing evidence of it being true.

Oh man. The article is trolls all the way down. I'm not going to respond line-by-line, but I love that he's referred to as a black & white purist. Delightful.

"For a perfectionist, like Mr. Versace, the picture is never finished as long as it can be better".

Well, for a perfectionist like Mr. Steve here, a picture is finished when it's right. So, this guy Versace (IF that's your real name there, bud) is apparently NEVER finished? He should have been a home remodeling contractor.
