There's a place near me that has one of these Kodak setups and
the quality of the prints you get is amazing. I use them quite a
bit because prints from slides cost no more than prints from
negs.

One of my marathon running friends is a chemical engineer at
Kodak; he just got moved from the color negative film area into
inkjet papers. 'nuff said.
