It is available on large format inkjet printers. It did take a few years to develop a working solution, but their is a solution. When it comes to smaller format machines, there are a few issues with white ink that need to be addressed. Pigment load, pigment fallout, and nozzle blocking. First pigment load. In order to get a "good" white ink the ink needs to have a sufficient load of pigment to produce an "opaque" white. Next comes pigment fallout. One you achieve a sufficient quantity of pigment load, the ink needs to be inconstant motion to keep the pigment from settling out of the ink. So when the ink is in it's storage container is needs to be constantly agitated/moving. Lastly is nozzle blockage. Let's just say that we solve the movement of the ink in the cartridge/storage tank. We also need to keep the ink moving in the head. If not the pigment will settle inside the print head and block the nozzles. When working with smaller format printers, you can see the difficulties to be overcome. Some of the large format printer manufacturers have solved these issues. I can speak from experience, the Inca large format printers with white ink produce an excellent white ink, and do not have the issues listed above. I would like to clarify, white ink is available.

"Eye of the beholder" is right on. The thing is this..."art" (whatever that may be) is not a function of how it's made, but how it's perceived. If a Mona Lisa is art, it is certainly not because it was painted with oils on canvas. And it would be just as much art if seen in a book, on a poster, on a web page or on a corn flakes box. In the digital domain especially, we do need to try to educate folks to ask not how it was made, but to ask what it does for them. Hi, Cath. “Eye of the beholder” is right on.

Great topic! I just heard from somebody that is from a different generation, that one needs to be 'discovered', in all fairness -- this is the way of the past. There is a quote,though: art is in the eye of the beholder. People who are critics of new tech and the artist behind it, are, unfortunately unaware of the beautiful and successful career/business that a artist today, can have. Eduction is key to raising the level of awareness of the ARTS. Thanks for a thought provoking article! ~ Cath What is Art? Great topic!

I've given up my "traditional" tools of paint and mess for digital nearly 18 years ago and haven't picked them up since! I now do my "painting" digitally and still manage to get 5'x6' Giclee canvas prints mounted and THEN people seem to think of it more as "art"! I couldn’t agree with you more!
