Re: Astro images on micro film?

Hi
My first attempt would be to insert the picture into Powerpoint, Shrink to
the appropriate size (using the standard "shift" and corner grab to
keep proportions) and print onto a transparency.

You would have to find a good inkjet printer but some of them are quite
capable nowadays.

You could get 100 or so on one slide.... But then you have to cut them
out, or make a "film strip" out of a linear batch so you could slide it
through.
