Is a Lambda Print of Higher Quality Than a Print Made from Film Output or Original Negative?
In most cases, yes. The Lambda prints directly from your digital file eliminating loss of image quality due to the second generation transparency or negative. Printing from scans of your original film eliminates several problems common to traditional enlarger printing, i.e. Newton rings, dust and color crossover. Moreover, by eliminating visible dot screen and grain patterns, the system offers pinpoint color accuracy in tandem with razor sharp image detail from corner to corner.

Does the Lambda Allow Greater Manipulation and Control of Color than Conventional Photographic Printing?
Yes. Digital imaging programs allow you to manipulate specific areas of color. For example, skin tones can be made warmer without affecting the sky blue background. The Lambda maintains the integrity of subtle changes in color, saturation and contrast as it prints to photographic materials. In addition, because laser technology delivers a purer light to the silver layers of the photographic emulsions, colors are cleaner and richer.

What About Printing to Backlit Materials? Will the image maintain its maximum luminosity even if the image is made up of highly saturated colors?
Absolutely. The lambda exposes the light sensitive emulsion of Duratrans or Duraclear using light generated by its RGB laser system. This photographic process brings out the color inherent in the emulsion. Thus, the Duratrans or Duraclear retains all its translucence. There is no buildup of opaque dyes or tightly configured dot patterns one would encounter using other digital imaging processes.
