Hi All
As it appears that to ask questions at PixelGenius you already need to be trying/using PKS I am a bit stymied & as I wish to make use of the trial period as best as possible I do not want to lose time waiting on them to answer what I hope are very straight forward questions !
So, I hope LL folk can throw some light (no pun intended) on my question.
For the output sharpening when using commercial labs I read that you use the Contone Output sharpener but what I would welcome some feedback on is this.
What level of Contone is required for (this presumes I have understood the correct output sharpener is the Contone):-
1) Fuji Frontier 370 or 390 - these are very commonly used in pro commercial labs and print at 300dpi
2) Polielectronica Laserlab - this is used at Photobox UK for prints larger than 15"x10" and has a default of 254dpi
3) HP Indigo Press (in the case of Photobox they have the 5000 model) - these are being used print the likes of "book" style photo albums
I hope the above makes sense and I am prepared to invest in PKS to get the best possible printed output at the commercial labs but as I see it I need the feedback to aid me in ensuring the first few test prints I get doen have been prepared as well as I can do it in the trial period.
TIA
