I understand image setters are easier and process cameras are outdated. But I have a question only for people who used to use process cameras. I would really love as much feedback as possible from people who have used process cameras back in the day.
Say we have a high detailed fine line black vector file image that is 8x8" (100%). If we print this out enlarged at 400% (24x24") on white photo paper where its crisp black images then take a picture with the process camera and reduce it back to 8x8" (100%). My question is if we do it this way can this create a perfect crisp negative with the same quality as an image setter would create at 3000dpi or will the image setter be able to still do better?
I figured if the picture is taken of it enlarged at 400% where the camera can see it clearly and big before its reduced back to 100% the quality will be the same?
Can anyone tell me if done this way if a process camera can create the same quality as an Agfa 1000 image setter at 3000DPI if used this way?
