Montie ----------- Frank: Although it really depends on the lab and their equipment, I am generally dissatisfied with C-41 print quality. To offset this, I have all C-41 developed at Costco and scanned to a high resolution gold disc at Costco. I also have my Kodachrome slides scanned at Costco. The Costco warehouse store I go to is across the street from their HQ in Issaquah, WA and employs the latest Fuji Frontier systems. I review the disc at home using iPhoto and Photoshop Elements 4.0, then print the "survivors" on a Canon i860. Images that have merit I have printed from the negative at a local pro lab. They give me the choice of laser or giclee (inkjet) prints. Not an elegant solution, but a solution I can live with for now. I think the real solution is the best affordable ink jet printer at home and best affordable paper. Bob in Seattle
