Mark,

I've been considering Scala because I do my own Ciba printing. I'm a bit
confused about your comment re "regular or high contrast".  Do you mean as a
consequence of printing on the various grades of Ilfochrome paper?  Also,
what do you mean by "the colour bias of the original"?

Cheers,

Michael
