Re: filmscanners: Repro house skirmishing (long)

[Larry Berman <larry@bermanart.com>]

Hi Tony,

Have you thought of getting one of the Epson printers and doing your own 
prints to submit, either for repro, or at least for guides? I'm sure there 
are enough knowledgeable people on this forum to give you the (OT) pros and 
cons of creating your own proof prints.

What about LightJet prints? If you can profile your scanned digital files 
so no proofing is needed it might be a viable option. I know my lab in the 
states can do an overnight if I pay the premium.
