i am looking for a way to get a positive made for a 48" wide screen. i am currently cutting ruby and weeding it out but it takes a long time just wondering if anyone has any ideas. would like to get one of the epsons but they only go to 48 and then 64 which i dont need a 64" ink jet. would love to hear your sugestions.
thanks
Re: large format film positives
If you want 48" positives then the equipment is expensive and you need a lot of film to make it worthwhile, I take Kevin up on his kind offer.

Re: large format film positives
The Aspect Quadra by Auto type is one of the best machines out there. We used to do film with ruby and in a darkroom but this machine has saved us time and money since we bought it 5 years ago. This is basically a digital printer but has a wasatch rip. The black this machine prints is very opaque and not translucent like a lot of machines and can print out very clean crisp art and halftones. The film size is 54" max or smaller rolls. It is worth the investment or I would be willing to make your films and send them to you if you send the art files via e-mail. I can pretty much have films made the same day and shipped back out to you.
