Do you take it there on disk or do you do a colour inkjet print out
first and get it copied? The laser print / enamel paint / transparency
has the advantages of being very rugged, waterproof and lightfast.
(Wish I had a colour laser!) Not too slow a procedure, just need to
be patient while the paint dries! An hour in the hot water cupboard is
enough.
