Rob,
I use a D-Lab 2 and the prints I get are quite sharp and crisp
(printed as is, no changes from the operators, minimal USM from my
part - I much dislike garrish sharpening of most digital prints
nowadays).
Except that once it happened that I received prints obviously not as
Strange, I thought there is nothing to focus about lasers, after all
those are in-phase, rectilinear beams with extremely low
dispersion!? Could it be the so called focus procedure is rather an
alignment process to insure the three laser spots overlap?

It's unlikely

Hi Bruce,
I tried to send you an email off list
Rob Studdert mused:
If you (or anyone else) would like a copy please let me know, it's about
4.5MB.
Yes please.
Yes, I would like a copy. Just go ahead and send it to my email
account. I'll probably have my lab print it too.

Hi Bruce,
do you know if the D-Lab accepts Adobe1998 colour space files? In one
lab they told me so, but they don't know that exactly...

From what I remember, it does accept that color space. When I tried
it though, I wasn't happy with the results. I know the lab was
working on it. I switched over to sRGB and haven't had enough reason
to go back and see if they got it resolved.

Hi Rob
There is also the possibility that the focus on the d-lab is off a touch. I
never worked with a d-lab, but the frontiers have a routine that focuses the
3 lasers, so I assume the same is true with the agfa. Try giving them a
negative you know is in sharp focus and see how the result comes

AFAIK the D-Lab completely ignores embedded profiles and just assumes
that everything is sRGB.

Hi Team,
Has anyone here done any experiments to determine the optimum sharpening to
apply to image files destined to print on a D-Lab 2? I just received a 12x8 D-
Lab 2 test print back and details appear far less acute than a print from the
same file made on a relatively inexpensive Epson ink
/122004/tg1204.htm
and the results are better than I've achieved in several years of printing
with my Epsons using a one step sharpening.

Hello Rob,
My local lab uses D-Lab 2 and D-Lab 3 printers. I haven't noticed any
particular softness with printing to them. When I print locally, the
software used to print does seem to make some difference - quite
commonly I print with QImage and it rezes up and sharpens the image
before
