I'm not sure if Martin was saying he was a hobbyist printer - I thought that was jfrancho's quote?
Anyway, Martin sent me a couple of example prints recently as I was interested in a particular paper type (and I've probably forgotten to say thanks - so, thanks Martin!). I think for someone like him, who is a very serious and capable commercial photographer, making his own prints makes sense. If you are a real hobbyist then fine send it off to a lab and get back whatever they give you.
