The quality of lenticular material seemed to take a turn for the worse about
three years ago, about the time that "Nimstec" became "i-3dx".  I still
marvel at the quality of the lenticulars I had done at Nimstec for $17 a
roll.  The only decent lenticular prints I've gotten in recent years have
been i-3dx's 5 X 7 enlargements.  These seem to be made with a lot more
care, and the $10.52 charge per print hasn't gone up in the recent price
increases.   Jim Harp
