As in photographic printing of large format film camera originals, or some other kind?

Click to expand...

We receive digital images (files) (and hardcopies - architectual renderings, etc) I print them to our large format inkjet (60" to 72" wide) printer and our Durst photographic printer (50" wide).

We do alot of printing for trade booths and stuff like that, also vehicle wrapping.

beer4breakfast said:

Cool. I thought maybe mural printing or signage or something along those lines. For my hobby pursuits, I'd love to get my hands on a 8x10 Durst Laborator, but have no room for such a big enlarger in my current house.

Click to expand...

We have a 72" wide Vutek printer in which we can print on a number of different substrates (wood, metal, plastic, etc.) With the inkjet we can print on canvas and watercolor paper (with our standard paper stock) we run a 50" Durst Lambda for our photographic prints.

11. [start of rant] I think this subject is too politicized and missing the bigger picture. Arguing over how much impact we are having on global warming or not to me misses the more basic idea of caring for our environment. Who wants to live in a filthy, trashy, stinky house. Why should Mother Nature have to constantly be cleaning up after us. Whether or not we have global warming, we should act like we do just for the sake of being more responsible caretakers of our home planet. What if the neighbors come to visit. Would you want them to see polluted skys, rivers and streams? Our countries leaders acting like a bunch of children? Half the population apathic and the other half wanting to bomb each other because they think the others are heathens or worshiping the wrong god?
So, what would the neighbors think if they took a good look at life on this planet? [end of rant]

12. I once was a professional sheep shearer in my younger days. Worked with a crew out of Colorado shearing in Wyoming, Montana and Colorado.
I have shaved most of my life with a straight razor.

I'll start a party with you, I'm the same. My Democratic friends just steer away from the conversation when I bring it up. I think they're afraid that since I'm mostly against it that I might get in their face about it, like some other people.
