[photo-3d] Re: Fuji Frontier Printer

[dinoddd@xxxxxxxxx]

Hi,

I just got some prints made from one side of some Realist slides
using 
the Frontier machine.

I unmounted a chip from a heat-sealed cardboard mount then remounted 
the chip in a Pegco Robot format slip-in mount before giving it to
the 
lab (a Dean's Photo store). The results were excellent, virtually 
identical to prints made from negatives on the same machine. They
even 
filled up a 4x6 print (with cropping of the sides, of course) at no 
extra charge. It's great having this option now that this machine is 
out. 

BTW, it's worth getting your regular developing of print film done on 
this machine too. The picture quality for 4x6 prints is the best that 
I've seen.
