Re: Cirkut reduction copy scans

[Robert Erickson <cirkut8@xxxxxxxxx>]

Doing your own photographic prints is still the
cheapest way to go. However, copy negs are not as good
as the original. :-(

For a high quality copy I scan Cirkut prints in
sections using a top rated $100 office scanner. I use
Pana Vue Image Assembler to stitch them back together,
then enhance it in Photoshop.

Photographic prints on photographic paper from a
digital file is available in any size from a wallet up
to 12 inches by 5 feet. The price for a true
photographic print is about the same as printing your
own inkjet. I recomend http://gateway.to/prints
Clayton could get 6 4x30s printed at once on a single
12x5 foot piece of paper. They don't even have to be
of the same image.
