Hi all,

I asked this general quesion on the print process of high quality 'coffee table' style books a while back:

I've just been browsing through Edward Burtynsky's book 'China' book and aside from the subject matter, I have some specific tehnical questions using this book as an example:

1. Are the images shot on negative or transparency? I am guessing negative.

2. Are these reproductions made from original photographs or from the negatives themselves? I would guess they are high end flatbed or drums scans of the original photographs, what sort of equipment would have been used?

Thanks

Julian
