 can someone make stereo cards

I've seen excellent Cibachrome prints made from VM reels.  You would 
need to find a lab willing and able to put the VM reel into their 
printing apparatus, unless you don't mind removing the chips from the 
reel.  I've been pleased with the results I've gotten scanning VM 
reels on an Epson 1200 Photo scanner (using the transparency 
adaptor), editing the resulting files in Photoshop and having prints 
made at a local lab.  I created a cardboard mask for the Epson that 
allows the back-light to only pass through one pair of VM chips at a 
time.  Sheldon Aronowitz and I exhibited 24 stereo cards created this 
way at Mesa featuring rare images from his collection.  Jim Harp
