Not just based upon reading stuff, but based upon actual use and results. A friend, and exceptional Cibachrome printer (It's actually his business. He has a hand picked clientele.) named Dave Adams in Laguna Beach, CA. Dave has printed some of my transparencies. His work is awesome. So I decided to copy him. Seeing is believing. ZBE color head (www.zbe.com) on a Beseler 45V-XL chassis and Colorstar 3000 analyzer. I will either get a ColorLine 5100 (www.jobo.com) or a Colorstar 3000 (www.omega.satter.com) analyzer. I have the ZBE head, and will accumulate the remaining stuff over the next few months.
