Jeremy has given you a good example. He is from Australia. As everybody knows, there are countries where labor is much cheaper than in Australia.
2040 PPI is the max optical res on an Imacon 949 with 4 by 5" film.
It's very sharp with it (even with the software sharpening set to off, yes I know the -120 trick), so you really get your 2040 PPI, unlike say those Epsons which are considerably less capable of resolving detail at their claimed 4800 PPI than the Imacon at 2040 PPI.
For the very biggest prints drum scans are probably still the way to go if you can afford them and find a decent operator which can be difficult.
Yes, there are countries with cheaper labour than Australia! But Australia has a very safe postal service, the language spoken is English which aids clear communication, and it's always a balance between getting someone who cares about their work and getting the cheapest possible price. Even by international standards I think we offer a very good price/performance ratio.
