Looking for large-scale photo printing equipment.

US Bank sends a roster of repossessed and off-lease used
equipment every week or so, and most times a mini lab or some
sort of photo printing equipment will show up on it.

To get on the list, send an email to:

kevin [dot] nordsiden [at] usbank [dot] com

and ask to be placed on the list.

Eight months ago, I was helping a friend start a lab and found
lots of resources - one was a broker in Texas who could find used
equipment all over. There are other resources in MiniLab
industry rags, same as you find in Shutterbug and Photographic
for the lens end of the film. There's also a mfr of minilabs in
NJ who claim that their equipment is just as good as Noritsu's
(it might be, too) at about 40% of the price for new equipment.

Look on the minilab side, and if you want me to hunt down more
info from the deep dark side of my desk, drop me a line.
