slide to enlarged print

[jimmy_m.]

I have a few slides i shot with my new 503CW that are pretty

unbelievable. I don't shoot much transparency so i guess i didn't

know what i was missing as far as color rendition and 3 dimensional

sharpness. Wow! I want to make prints of these slides. Would

anyone be able to tell me what is the best way to make nice archival

prints from 6x6 slides without picking up too much contrast? I want

to know where technology is right now as far as getting big prints

from transparencies. I know this was somewhat difficult in the

past. What's the best way to make prints from slides without losing

any of the image quality? Thanks!

Have it drum scanned by a quality outfit, and then printed with a LightJet.

On the relatively inexpensive front, I've had good luck with Fuji

Frontier prints, although I don't know the archival qualities of

them. As far as detail goes, I see more of it in the prints than I

see in projected slides, but this may be the failing of my old,

inexpensive projector lens.

You don't say whether you have darkroom or any facilities to do your own processing.

i don't have a darkroom or any facilities to do my own processing. I live in Los Angeles and will be finding a good lab with professional services.

I recently had very nice results with West Coast Imaging. They drum scanned and Light Jet printed 4 35mm slides for me and the results were spectacular. They are on the web at www.westcoastimaging.com
