A print, especially a classic gelatin silver B&W or c-print, is something the artist has ostensibly personally labored over. It is as much a product of their craft as the original source material was, whether that was a negative, positive, digital image, or PSD file.

NFTs...eh, not so much.

most artists will hire professional printmakers and printers. just because a photographer is good at shooting does not mean they are good in the dark room.

when we talk about editioned prints, most of the effort is not in the print. a screen print takes a couple hours to make, an Epson print is a click of the button. but the work being printed might have been built from years of practice as an artist.
