With current laser photoplotting technology, WHY ?? whould you want to 
do reductions ?? LP's can generate things much finer than you can
ever hope to etch.... I think that's about 4 mil traces with 4 mil
seperations. And it usually costs me under 10$ for a 10x10" film (OK, 
well I do need several of them... but still)
