I can no longer stand to have prints made on anything but the Frontier 370 -
regular processing and printing looks downright blurry in comparison.  Dave
Williams mentioned that he had been told that the scanning on the unit was
done with three 5000 dpi CCDs - ( Does this mean a non interpolated 15000
dpi resolution is possible?)  Do you have any insight into what scanning
resolutions are available? How about the actual dpi resolution of the
Frontier's prints?  I suspect it's something like 300.  Does Ritz offer the
option of having scans saved to CD or printing from digital files?   I've
heard that Fuji intends for the 370 to be an alternative to the Kodak Photo
CD system.  Any chance that a custom tray could be devised for scanning
Realist format slides or View-Master reels?  I imagine medium format is out
of the question.  Jim Harp
