The last few years of my own amateur/self-published/small press/non-comic pro work, I keep the pencils and inks separate--I ink myself on my light table on new board (I hate erasing!) over darkened (and usually enlarged) copies of my originals, so the pencils end up being preserved.
With all the advances of personal scanners and email and the fact of so many pencilers and inkers living in different cities, I have to imagine that there must be a LOT of uninked penciled pages out there these days! (With just scans emailed to the inkers to work from.) I would think there are tons of surviving pencils AND inks around!
But, to tell the truth, I haven't seen many examples of this, either in person at cons--pencilers end up selling inked originals--or online, recreations like the Joe Rubinstein-inked cover of JB's Silver Surfer one-shot notwithstanding.
So, if it ISN'T the practice to keep both pencils and inks separate and preserved these days, why not?
