Yes, you can give the negatives from your lenticular camera and have them
developed as prints. Not all film processors handle this kind of format
(half-frame) but most do, in my area. Ask them to develop them as
half-frames, which essentially they are. I would recommend getting them
back as 3-1/2 by 5 inch size, unless you want to get the larger size and
crop them or if you have the appropriate viewer.

The negatives to develop would be the two outside images. Quality wise,
the pics comes out pretty good. Incidentally the ole Nimslo is used 
quite a bit by the 3D print enthusiasts, or so I hear. 

On a sligtly different note, I think if you want to go the route of better
quality than the low end Image-Techs, their is a more expensive version
with glass optics. I imagine this one should be as good as the Nimslo.
Rocky Mountain has it and the price sounds right.
