> "How are the prices at Media Specialties when you compare digital to > chemical?" If that is a question for me, I'm pleased at how elegantly you make my point. We don't ~have~ a "Media Specialties" where I live. How then could you (we) possibly compare "Media Specialties" prices with (any) pro lab I might name where ~I~ live? I see the trap: you pick a dinky, low priced so-called "pro" lab and I pick the "pro" lab I most often use. We then "compare" prices. You win. **But we could, using a disinterested intermediary, send our most frequented lab's catalog (your lab does have a catalog, yes?) to them. Let ~them~ make the comparison. Remember this: you're not my appointed inquisitor, nor instructor, nor, heavens forbid, boss, thus your question(s) are as meaningless as they are superfluous, as would be any comparison between pro lab prices. I, nor anyone, am not obligated to answer what more than likely would be, in the end, a rhetorical question.
