BD, If you are creating prints for publicity I do not know about using digital outputs like this. If they are scanned again you will get a "moray" pattern in the scans from the pixels. At least this is what two different labs have told me about using digital outputs. One does both digital and print methods, the other is digital only, and they say any digital output will give you pixels, no matter how small. When they are rescanned they give this pattern. This was the photoshop/digital guy who was telling me this. - -- Harrison McClary http://www.mcclary.net
