If they can't produce it themselves they will surely point you in the right direction. Many screen printing shops are still dependent on this technology.

I got some BlueFire police film the other day to try making these but making the image to photograph is the stumbling block right now. Inkjets lack the crispness I'm looking for, even if I enlarge the zone plate to fill a 6 x 6 inch area. I will try a laser printer next and if that fails I will try taking the image to a self-serve photo kiosk and printing it on photo paper at that resolution. I can remember when imagesetters were rare then common: now they're obsolete? Anyone know of one where I could email the file(s) and get the output mailed to me?

I created something similar about 1995 using Postscript code to create the images. Here's the link to my site for that: <a href="http://brucebarrett.com/Pinhole/MyPinholeIdea.html" rel="nofollow">Making pinholes with Postscript</a> I'v just gotten back into Pinhole work and expect to update this code soon to include zone plates and photon sieves. -Bruce Hi All,
