Digital BW, The Print

I still have my awesome 16x20 LVT and Management Graphics film recorders, 
but no convenient way to process film any more since I ditched the big lab 
at the end of 2010. I do get calls for 8x10 transparencies from my 
Betterlight captures, but it happens so infrequently that I send it out to 
someone I've established a rapport with. Just last week, someone asked me 
for 35mm slides from digital and I was almost speechless. I used to make 
those by the mile but that was the first request since long before I closed 
the lab. What makes sense is that there should be more of a need for a 
quality large format digital to analog service, but there's more resistance 
than demand for it.

I am totally stuck on the concept of writing a digital file however it was 
acquired back to
film.  There are still government standards and specs that require a piece
of film as a deliverable. They will not accept digital..  So a film recorder
might be kinda nice.. J.. (are you reading this John?  Might be a good
nitch..)
