Jon,
I too think the computer projector would be the best bet if you can
hire one, but bear in mind that unless they are profiled, they are
notorious for projecting pretty inaccurate color-that is, they tend
to be poorly color-managed. If you can find a service bureau that
rents one, for example, they may be able to profile one for the
computer system used to drive the projector.
A profiling spectrophotomer e.g., a Gretag MacBeth EyeOne Photo would
be able to do this.
Cheers,
Stephen Scharf
