*****  There is another way to approach this. Get the negative processed
locally and mark it with the instruction, *DO NOT CUT NEG* and *SLEEVE NEG*.

You can have prints made from the negatives, usually by telling them you
have half frame prints. If they don't have the special device for half
frames, you can request they print each exposure onto oversize paper and let
adjacent images get trimmed off later.

I've worked things out with a local store so that they know what I want. I
ask for just the two outside images, or the first and third exposure in each
triplet. I drop off the film and an hour later have very nice prints.It
usually runs about $10 per 24 exposure roll (16 - 17 sets of 3 image
lenticular exposures)

You might consider having a neg duplicated before sending it off for
lenticular printing, especially if it contains images you definitely don't
want to lose.

The advantage is that you get to see your pictures right away, then send off
and wait for the lenticular prints without worrying about their possible
loss. Plus you only make lents out of the ones you like best.
