I used to use The SlidePrinter all the time to print slides back in the days before scanning and printing through inkjets. They were reasonably priced and did pretty well. Not being Cibachrome, they did struggle with high contrast slides. Overall I was quite satisfied.
Haven't used them in the last few years, though. --- Bruce Monday, October 20, 2003, 10:47:03 PM, you wrote: bcin> I find that too,Bruce.With the plastic sleeves i bcin> bought,i can get 3 6x6 per line and 2 bcin> 6x7 per line and bcin> for the most part fit into the carrier pretty flat(except bcin> last roll,it had a curl to it.) bcin> Ya i find 35mm negs a bit sharper than 35mm slides too. bcin> I was just looking at a site in the us for "the slide bcin> printer".Anyone use them???Seems bcin> they do bcin> conventional prints from scans or inkjet prints too. bcin> Dave bcin> > Dave, >> >> As far as 67 goes, everything is unmounted.
