I have a digital artwork that's 7 x 4 inches and I plan on printing it on transparent film at that size. I'm trying to reduce it in size to 3.5 x 2 inches so it fits on a business card. It will be embossed, so I need a film negative to make the plate.

I plan to use my homemade 4 x 5 camera as a process camera to create a negative where the work is the desired 3.5 x 2 inches.

The reason I'm not just printing the digital transparency smaller to begin with is that my inkjet isn't capable of producing the kind of detail that the artwork demands.

I was under the impression that my lens (G-Claron) is best suited for 1:1 transfer. Will I lose any detail or encounter any issues reducing the size? Is there a more preferable way to accomplish this?

Any advice/comments would be much appreciated.
