Hello Andy
Sorry,what do you mean by '1000ppi for best results'?I suppose it's the
output resolution of the film recorder? From this 6*9cm ,are we able to
print,says....a 30*40cm print with a correct granulation? By the way ,
Fire or LVT are a trademark probably very popular on the other side of the
Atlantique .I live in Europe . Any informations would be very appreciated,
just a little bit moreplease.

Hi Chris:
The 1000PPI is the resoultion of the file at 100% of its size(8x10 in the
case outlined before). The machine can output at a higher resolution, but
it rarely nees more than 1000-1200 ppi. It is much more important to have
a good, clean file from which to start.
The Fire or Lightjet are trademarks of Cymbolic Sciences, a Canadian
company if my memory serves me correctly. LVT is Kodak technology. Check
both company's web sites for more info.
All the best!
