Spore print vs. syringe

Why do some vendors only offer spore prints and not syringes on certain species. It seems to be the same for all the vendors on the smae species, like Pan. Cyans.

.. Prints are easier, and you get more spores..?

Isn't it better to get a print anyway? You get more bang for your buck. The only problem I see is if you don't know how to make the syringes.

Either way, it's more spores than you need.

Very true, aside from making more syringes with a print, you could make LCs also and stretch it out even more.

FTL, I meant. I only need a bit of spore water, I don't need a billion spores.
I'd buy probably 3mL syringes if the sponsors sold them for cheaper.

IDK, I'd rather spend the extra $5 for more spores. I'd rather have 4+ syringes for ~$25-30 than 1 syringe for ~$20.

I'm sure this has been debated somewhere, but this is contrary to my experience.
Recent evidence has shown that all my 5 year old syringes were viable while my 5 year old prints did not germinate. I'm not sure I care what people say for now on; for me: syringes last longer.
I'm guessing that when only prints are offered it is because they are less popular, and they don't want the spores clumping out of solution (or the jet dry condensing). I could very easily be wrong.

Oh, sure. In general and under ideal conditions, prints last longer. Actual longevity of a specific item will vary. ^^^ is there another example? Anecdotes add up to evidence, IMO. Anybody tried old spore syringes?

Maybe the prints were not made properly and their cleanliness can not be guaranteed

two theories.. one the noobs grab up all the syringes leaving the prints for ones who know what to do with em.. two if youve ever printed or seen a print of cyans.. theyre pretty light.. not heavy depositors.. when you make the syringe they dont look like cube syringes.. so id assume to make em darker youd need more than one print.. why a darker syringe you ask.. the reassure the noobs that there is in fact spores in it.. just my guesses
another possiblity.. im sure theyre not as hot a seller as the cubes..so theyre probably sitting around for a couple months.. in other words.. their longer shelf life.. as mentioned before

I assumed it had something to do with agar skills. I have seen posts where they where wild prints and agar skills would be required. thought that these strains were also wild that were offered by the vendors and simple brf teks are out the window. some one mentioned a cyan. well that makes sence to me. I could see all sorts of people screeming that the syringes were no good just because they couldn't grow em. By making a print it kinda leaves a narrower gap of growers with a little more skill to buy the prints up. I really have no idea though. This is just a guess.
