Field trip to Richard Armstrong Photolab

Richard Armstrong and crew will demonstrate their new walk-in facility. They have several G4 Macs tied to a Fuji Frontier photographic printer. They can print TIFF files on photopaper at sizes ranging from 4" x 6" to 10" x 15". Being a true photographic paper, you get a 75-year expected displayable lifetime quite inexpensively. The Frontier can also scan negatives and give you jpeg files from 8 megs to 40 megs for compositing or other digital manipulation.

Also, they will be getting Epson's latest technology in inkjet printers -- the 9000. It will print up to 44" wide by how ever long and uses archival inks and media with a life span of 150 years. It will be able to print on everything from watercolor paper to poster board.

Where is it?
The Richard Armstrong Photolab's parking lot is shared with Samy's Camera. The lot entrance is on the right side of Haley just east (uphill) of Milpas. The front door faces the parking lot (not Milpas).

The Goleta DeskTop Publishing Users Group is a SIG (Special Interest Group) of the Santa Barbara PC Users Group. We are not platform specific: some members have PCs, some have Macs, some have both. Linux and other systems are sprinkled in as well for good measure. We focus on the issues of publishing in all forms, be it on paper, web, CD-ROM, or some other medium.
