I printed this William Blake on a Pixma last month:

A skill that Blake took a lifetime to learn is now for sale on Amazon with free shipping. But instead of using it to create original work like Blake did, I use it to steal his art and put it on my wall. That's both sad and glorious.

A big part of print making is the material properties of paper and inks etc. Digital prints don't capture any of that

True, but I can't tell the difference from about three feet away.
