P3D RE: PHOTO-3D digest 2389

[tony <tony@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Phil,  and all our friends wanting lenticular printing.

When we installed the 3D printing machine in our Nottingham Branch we thought that this would be more than adequate to take care of demand from Britain.   What we did not anticipate was the great interest in 3-D and that the rest of the world also wanted lenticular prints!

Additionally,  the number of cameras sold in the U.K. alone is something over 25,000 (yes,  that's a helluva a lot of 3-D processing waiting to drop in our laps) far more than we ever expected to sell when we installed the processing machine.   We budgeted on a three-week turnaround in Britain......well you know wht has happened since then with your own film.

We have been considering installing a second machine to try and speed things up,  but the heavy cost of doing this has to be seen to be believed.    Hence the 'offloading' of some of our work on to the makers of the processing equipment who,  fortunately,  are always willing to help out.

We are doing our best,  and have one employee in the Nottingham Branch whose full time job is totally devoted to organising the prints,  and mailing.....until we can interest some of the big chains of photo stores in stocking 3-D there will not be the capital available to invest in additional processing equipment.    For the moment you will have to bear with us.

Our Nottingham machine will process either 3 or 4 frames.   You'll find it all detailed on our web page:

If you want U.S. $ prices,  just multiply by about 1.62x
