actual printers vs dye transfer prints

writes:

does anyone know if there is any other color print technique that
rivalize with the dye transfer prints in quality, gamut and ¨long
lasting life¨.

I read some time ago that dye transfer is the only color print
technique that can make prints in fiber based paper.

What about the thermal dye transfer print process, lambda prints,
frontier prints, inkjet plotters?

Is dye transfer still the king in color prints?

The `King' is still tri or quad chrome carbro. Dye transfer
is a close second. Digital seperations and some new materials
are causing a bit of a revival.

I think there are only 3 DT comercial printers left.
