Back in the days before inkjet printers our company had a very high tech film recorder. It would record very high resolution images directly to color film, up to a 8x10 negative or transparency. The brand of recorder we wanted happened to mention they had a brand new prototype recorder they were working on.
Long story short we ended up with the prototype for free since I could test it in real world conditions. We paid cost for the very first production model. The company that made it would send me customers files from other companies all over the world. I would record the image to film and send it back to them to send on to the potential customer interested in buying the recorder.
I ended up changing the look up tables for the different types of film and I had better images than the factory could manage.
That entire industry evaporated when digital photography and inkjet printers finally got to a decent quality.
It was cool dealing with the engineers and software geeks that make the $150,000 gadget.
