The problem is, our supplier (API Foils) is no longer making the material. If someone out there knows of a supplier, it would be very helpful." You can reach Ike at ikeb@friesens.com From a member in Nevada: "We have a dispute with the State taxing authority over sales tax on film. Our position has always been that the client owns the film negatives. We use the negatives for the production of a job that is being sold to the client therefore to charge tax on the film and then again on the entire job is double taxation. There are several variations of the dispute. What if the film is produced by a color house and then brought it to our shop to create plates? What if we make both the film negatives and the plates in-house? If any members, in any state, province or other principality can help us defend against this unreasonable taxation we would be forever grateful. If you will direct your replies to Kevin, he will forward them to us. Thank you!"
