I have a CI5000S and make consistently great slides ... if you'll do some
Googling you'll find that the secret is in calibration and in software. I've always found the Polaroid/RasterPlus RIP software to be crap ($995 crap) - much prefer Zenographics SuperPrint (now out of business - latest release only goes to WinME/98 ... I have a laptop dedicated to that and am very ahppy). Will "Tom Monego" wrote in message ... Polaroid made crap film recorders until their last model when they finally came close to getting it right. Work from a Matrix, Agfa, Mangement Graphics or the top dog Celco makes Polaroid slides look like mush. Again their last 8000 line unit did work about as good as 4000 line units from other companies. If you are making slides from digital files ask what film recorder the lab is using if they say Polaroid go elsewhere, there is a world of difference. Tom In article zp9rd.375239$a85.104940@fed1read04, says... "Brian C. Baird" wrote in message . .. In article , says... Has anyone tried this? Results? http://www.iprintfromhome.com/image_...5406&pid=66497 http://www.iprintfromhome.com/ The max res is 2732 x 4096 (11.2 Mpix) $2.49 for 1 slide; 1.25 per additional slide of same image. Sounds interesting. At $2.50 a pop, doesn't sound like too much to try them out, unless they have prohibitively high shipping costs or insane minimum orders. Additionally, I don't know what the hell I'd do with them. I haven't projected slides in... forever. Why...you'd scan them back into your computer, of course! |

I have never used the Polaroid software. Haven't had a use for it in over 2 years, though. Not many people using slide projectors anymore. |
