... In article 3Sjrd.190815$hj.39872@fed1read07, says... One of the oddities of the art world is that some shows require slides for entries, but won't take digital files. So, you have to take your digital file and convert it to a slide, so that you can send it in for them to (supposedly) pop into a projector and view at many times the size of the original, then send you an email of rejection...

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.

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...) Peter |

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). Will "Tom Monego" wrote in message ... Polaroid made crap film recorders until their last model when they finally came close to getting it right.

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. |
