I got this piece scanned last week at Laumont Labs in Manhattan. They have the only large-scale scanner in the city, and WOW is it amazing. The detail it's able to capture is so high that if the piece is printed on high quality paper, the visual effect looks exactly like the original. Not that I'm planning to make prints of my texts at this time, but it's nice to have the option in the future. I'm really happy to have found Laumont, as they're great to work with.
I've written about this piece before, so I won't go into it too much. It's called 'Milk and Honey', and I cut the letters from the Bhagavad Gita to create 'Michael Row the Boat Ashore'. And now I'm here to tell you that Michael, he finally made it to the other side, where he found milk, honey, and Laumont Labs waiting for him with open arms and a world-class scanner.
Halleluia!

The piece is 40" x 26 1/4", done in 2011.
I hope that you do eventually exercise that option in the future and make some prints, these works are stunning, I would love to own any version I could get my hands on!
