Hi Sounds like your local lab got a Fuji Frontier, or maybe a Konica or Noritsu. They are pretty amassing. One problem in printing from digital media is bit depth. Most cameras only have 8 bits per color per pixel, so the color palette is not as good as film. Some of the newer cameras are coming out with 12-16 bits which helps allot.
The frontier does a wonderful job with chromes. We got one in at a lab I used to work at. We printed a couple of slides and the lab manager and I (both in our 40's at that time) were standing with our jaws dropped. After seeing those, we got the owner to cough up for a 120 carrier. We printed some 10x15's from a 6x7 chrome and everybody agreed that the only thing better might be a GOOD custom Cibachrome. Try a couple and see if you don't agree. About the Pol 4000. Try B&H photo They are selling them ($749 US) so they might know what the problem is or where to steer you for help. Thanks again for your site. It helped a lot in making my lens decisions.
