matt_johnson11 Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 I have a couple of questions about the pre-paid envelopes for A&I sold on B&H. 1) It says that the price includes processing, prints, and the price for shpping it back. Does this mean that you have to pay to ship it there (if so... how much would this cost (I live in Massachusetts)). Also, 2) Does it matter if you have 24 or 36 exposures? Since they don't say anything I'm guessing that price includes prints for either 24 or 36. Answers to these questions would be greatly appreciated.

mph Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 1) Two stamps per mailer. If you have a lot to mail, you could put all the film and mailers in a box, and pay less. 2) Their mailers are for 36 exp. You can send 24, of course, but you're still paying for 36.

mike_buckles Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 I prefer cardboard slide mounts...does A and I offer these by default? I have received my Kodachromes from them with nice cardboard mounts, and even though they are not going to process Kodachrome anymore, I wouldn't mind sending them my E6 slides for developing...

bjmarkowitz Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 whats the difference between plastic and cardboard mounts, and is plastic worth the extra cash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mph Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 A&I uses cardboard mounts by default. Plastic is $1.00 extra. It's a personal choice. I like cardboard. They're easier to write on, and some plastic mounts are thick enough to jam in projectors. BTW, A&I has a message board on their website for questions. Some of these topics, like choice of cardboard or plastic, have come up there. The A&I staff is pretty good at responding to questions within a day or two. (Not that I'm complaining about people asking here, but the A&I staff is likely to be more accurate and thorough than random folks on photo.net!)

keithdunlop Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 Brian, For me the plastic is better. They are more durable and less bulky. The plastic mounts that A&I uses are very thin and are sandwiched very tightly. I also think plastic is also easier to take in and out of slide page pockets. The A&I mounts are also white in one side and grayish on the other, which makes determining the correct viewing side easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r.t. dowling Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 Plastic has the advantage of not creating dust, which is good if you're planning on scanning your slides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard_pellom__long_live_ Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 Overall, A&I is very reasonably priced for the quality that you receive which has been outstanding for me. Very consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
