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.

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!

Haven't tried this but have used an old (1997) Polaroid film recorder
with excellent results.


One of those sold on *bay recently for - if I remember - $0.01 (plus
shipping...)

The latest generation of SCSI disks+controllers can move 320MB/s - yes
320 Mega bytes/second peak. And SCSI is still being improved. Yet those
same 320MB/s disks will fit in machines that have old controllers of 5
MB/s. They just run at 5MB/s.


For years, my public web/mail server was running a Quantum Empire SCSI
drive on a -- Trantor T128 controller (8-bit ISA, SCSI-1). This wasn't /so/
long ago, four to five years or so, well into the PCI age :-) The drive
crashed, unfortunately, and since then I have been running IDE, not because
of any controller problem but rather because I at the time of panic rebuild
didn't have a spare SCSI drive. It always gave me a kind of perverse
satisfaction to know that I was using a 286-era disk controller with
otherwise modern Pentium class equipment.

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).

Exactly. I have used Polaroid film recorders professionally since the
mid 90's and have had excellent results. 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.
