It can't be any worse than coming back after five days and $200,000 worth of
work and telling the client that all of it was fogged with diagonal stripes in
transit by x-ray machines. My question would be "why didn't you take the time
to find a pro lab on location?" There's no excuse for that sort of
incompetence, not at those prices.

The preponderance of personal attacks in your own posts as opposed to reasoned
technical information or argument leads me to the same conclusion about you, but
perhaps we are both wrong.
