Here is a summary of the recent discussion:

Bad news....Image Technologies from Northcross GA
has officially closed their plant. I understand that their creditors
have taken possession of their equipment, etc. after a continued
problem with the availability of the lenticular material used to make
the 3D prints.

They are rumored to be moving a new facility in the Los Angeles
area, but I do not have an address or any information about who
will be running the new location and what has happened to the
numerous rolls of films that they have in their possession.
One company in Southern California, Royal Marketing of 7900
Alabama Ave, Canoga Park, CA 91304 (818)999-3900
is selling disposable cameras that the new company is said to be
developing and printing (still attempting to locate the new group).

3-Dx in Atlanta is said to be paying attention to developing the
consumer market for lenticular prints. They are a different company.
They can use the 4 images from Nimslo and have made arrangements
with some large camera stores to handle the orphaned 3D-Magic
"single-use" cameras as well.  They also sell "new" Nimslos...

3-Dx can be found on the web at:
