I use drum and Imacon scans of 4x5 film for lightjet and inkjet prints, and once created, for everything requiring less resolution.
Proofs and web/email images get scanned on an Epson 3200. Right now I rent time on the Imacon whenever digital files are needed for magazine or brochure reproduction. Is this overkill? I don't want to lose the quality of the large original, but I'm not sure if it shows up for these types of print jobs. I've always tried to err on the side of greater image quality, but as a result there are some gaps in my experience. Needless to say there are many tiimes when it would be useful to skip the trip to the Imacon.
I have avoided upgrading from the 3200, but I wonder if that is now required?
Thanks in advance for all the generous advice offered on this forum. I's a tremendous resource.
