I don't have their address at my fingertips either, but they are in Santa
Monica, and they can do what you want. Basically, "printing" an entire
strip of negatives to positive stock is a motion picture technique, and
most still labs don't have the proper equipment to do it. RGB and a couple
of other companies (Seattle Film Works, for instance) have devised a rather
unusual technique. They sell motion picture negative in still film
cannisters which, when developed, can be printed to paper just like other
film negative, or copied to a strip of positive transparencies to be
mounted as slides. In the same way, they can make slides from UNCUT still
film rolls. The only snag in the process is that motion picture negative
uses a different color base than "normal" Kodacolor or Ektacolor, and so
special filters are needed for them to handle still film.
