You guys should stop shitting on each other or you risk licensee withdrawing permission.
Duplications is a pps problem, he should not authorise 2 suppliers to do the same product.
The problem is you guys all lock titles in years in advance with pps which stops the other doing it.
Then there is territory, mirco selling out of germany and you canada but to the same end user
Everyone shit on next gen, and now you are saying customers cant get original looking products with gradiants,
You can scan the original films into a pc and set up the files to look and print with gradiants as a tiff.
Digital is the way to go, more products and cheaper but i wouldn't change how they look, by printing high resolution photo quality without the gradiant dots.
