Frontier Processing

I have been trying to research different types of film processing. I

used to send my film to Mystic Color Lab or even bring it over to a

pro lab but lately I've been dissatisfied. I use print film, and the

colors never seem as vibrant as when I take the picture (Fuji Superia

400 film). When I walk into my local Ritz, I see they have a

Frontier system. Does that mean the processing is likely to be

good? Are there different types of Frontier processors, and should I

be choosing one over another? Any advice would be helpful.

 

Thank you.

Superia 400 printed on a Frontier (presumably on Crystal Archive paper) should have *very* vibrant colors. Give it a try.

Another vote for Kodak (HD400 or NC160) done on the Frontier, very pleased with the results.

<p>There are different Frontier models, but AFAIK they should produce the same or very similar images; the differences are in areas like throughput (the higher-end models can pump out a lot more prints per hour) and what inputs can be accepted.</p>

 

<p>There's plenty of previous discussion of Frontiers here which should prove useful to you.
