LSC hasn't taken external jobs in quite some time (several
years), not so much due to any policy as due to a drop in
the number of press operators (and the hosed nature of the
remaining ones). While it's not impossible, I would be
quite surprised if they had any interest in being asked
to do this at all, let alone in the next few days. I also
strongly suspect that to make it worth their time (remember
that they are not a service organization), the charges would
be drastically greater than what we've explained our charges
are.
