Frontier is a Fuji process. I have used both and I use Frontier almost
exclusively now. I usually get 8x12 (full frame 35mm for the same price as
8x10)) and then crop in the mat. There is a limit to the size of the
Frontier enlargement compared to what is available from Ciba, it may be
12x18 but I don't have the specs in front of me just now. Ciba allows for
larger prints. You can choose matt or glossy finish. They are also
cheaper... I pay $8.50 USD for an 8x12. Just like any other process quality
depends on the skill of the operator and I am lucky that my local (Houston,
TX) shop, Houston Photo Imaging, has done excellent work. You ask about
using "plastic" media....what do you mean?
Jerry, thanks for your answer. I mean the synthetic, glossy finish. AFAIK there
exist the Pearl finish wich is a RC paper, and it's not considered archival
(resource: lightroom webpage).
Also, if I understand what you say, ciba is cheaper than frontier? I have just
found a place here doing Ciba and they cost 3 times the prices of frontiers.
Maybe just a local issue.
