Re: filmscanners: why not digital minilabs?

["Dave King" <kingphoto@mindspring.com>]

I use Frontier prints for my commercial clients who need quantity
prints.  The requirement is to prepare an output size TIFF file at 300
dpi, and tagged sRGB.  My studio system is calibrated using
ColorVision PhotoCal and Profiler Pro, and the Frontier prints are
practically identical to my 1160 dye on glossy prints from the same
files.  It's great having Photoshop and color management available for
high quality "C" print processes, and Frontier print costs are
reasonable.  (it's the X-rite DTP-41 that's expensive:)
