Labs are actually producing a lot of problems lately as well, which has become a much discussed issue this year.

From what I've seen personally, inkjet can be done flawlessy, but requires specific combinations of printer models and paper brand. I've regularly printed ahead on 11x14 photo paper using top-level paper and brought them out to collect on. The colors are far more vivid than anything I've seen from a lab, but that's because my printer model was the choice of many professional photographers. And it's especially known for producing extraordinary black and white prints because of the multiple levels of black cartridges. It definitely takes time and experience to understand what images will work and what won't, when combining injket with sharpie ink.

Did you contact the seller for a refund on the shotty inkjet photo?

I wouldn't keep anything unless I was happy with it.

Let me know if you need extra images of Cornell posing with dealers after signing hundreds of items for them to sell. Or if you need any quotes about his constant generosity and appreciation for the effort that dealers put into bringing that service to his fans worldwide, since they weren't able to meet him personally.

It is a pretty normal occurrence to cash in when this stuff happens. You act like it is a moral travesty, and it really isn't. Major auction houses often run a lot of signed pieces after someone died. RRauctions did a lot of prince stuff. It's not that big a deal. People will do anything for the dollar, especially in this business.

Right? And it's even less of a deal when sellers have tons of the persons autograph already in stock. They were selling autographs the days before they died, the day they died, and the days after they died.

That's what autograph sellers do, they sell autographs.

Are they supposed to monitor who dies and quickly pull the inventory to make sure they don"t make a dollar as a result of the massive spike in interest and demand caused by someone's death?

It's ridiculous. Do funeral homes lack morals? Do news networks lack morals for having commercials on in between reports about death? Does RS magazine lack morals when they put a recent death on the cover and sell out newsstands? Do the record label and iTunes lack morals because Soundgarden is about to suddenly rise the charts again? Does Walmart lack morals because they sell so many Joker Heath Ledger shirts now? IHeartRadio just put up a massive Chris Cornell video on the GW bridge with their logo on it, is that wrong? How about Chris' family, should she refuse the royatly check coming that's going to be 50x the usual amount?

These things are natural occurences resulting in the reaction to someone's death, especially when they ddvote their lives to selling themselves like a product.

But the demand is there too - not just the suppliers. I imagine there are some not-so-nice things around gold, oil and those things and how they are "priced" - yet we buy and sell those with no problem when they go up, down etc.
