Hi For most things I actually prefer the Frontier over the Noritsu's (what I'm assuming you are calling the Kodak) Two big howevers though. First, it has been about 3 years since I last printed on a Frontier, and the output from digital cameras has improved tremendously in that time. Second, A lot has to do with how the lab has the printer set up. Most of the drug stores have their machines set up with too much sharpening and saturation. Ma and Pa six pack like the look (or don't know better) using their point and shoots (film or digital). Add technicians that don't have a good idea of what a good print really looks like. So someone with good equipment and a good eye is not going to like the results. I think good set up run by good people is much more important then the brand of printer for quality output.
