Re: [APML] new trends



Hi Brian,
 
    I still get significant scanning jobs ... mostly all chrome (positive) films now ...
 
    The greatest trend that I see now is the advent of the Epson professional level printers with 8 color inks ... the new Epson 4000 is going to be a killer ... archival pigmented inks and the ability to print on coated AND uncoated media ... It's going to be almost twice as fast as the 7600 / 9600 machines as well ... so I see the end of photochemical printing in the future ... eventually everyone will be doing their printing on a huge variety of medias at home and outsourcing the larger stuff... when I think back to the pre-inkjet days and the virtual monopoly photo labs had compared to the situation just ten years later, it's pretty easy to see where it's all going. Even some 1-hour machines are becoming inkjet ...
 
     Have a good one,
 
          Tony
