According to what I read recently Dwaynes in Parsons, KS is the only Kodachrome processor in the world. Chuck Porter ----- Original Message ----- From: Robert Nicholson To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, November 17, 2008 6:36 AM Subject: Re: {S-Scale List} The S scale mail orders???
I have used Denver Digital Imaging (formerly, The SlidePrinter) - http://www.theslideprinter.com/ - for years. Most of my film work today is in medium format, but with them I have never had a problem with fast, efficient service and excellent work in either medium or 35mm format. I'm not sure how they handle Kodachrome - in spite of its superior quality and archival properties, Kodak forced me to give up on it years ago.

I still take slides and when everything went to Dwayne's in Parsons, KS several years ago the service actually improved over what it had been thru Fuji in Phoenix (I gave up on Kodak's service years ago) even Fuji was pretty good. Suddenly that changed. I'd mail slide film on a Monday, Dwayne's would have it on Wednesday, process it and get it out that day or the next, and then it would take 2 to 3 weeks to get the slides back. After much back & forth with the POs on both ends, our regional mail center in Milwaukee, and with Dwayne's applying pressure on their end, things turned around and service is excellent again. That took about 2 years. Now, the PO never really told me where the problem was but obviously someone was sitting on the slides somewhere between Parsons and Oconomowoc, WI where my PO is. I suspect the problem was in Milwaukee where I know the workers were trying to get the PO to hire more people and there also some problems with supervisors, sick days, etc.but I don't know that. Anyway, that's my experience. > The fact that you are ordering from several different places and having difficulty with all of them seems to indicate that the problem is likely located at the center that gets the stuff from all over and then sends it to your PO. > Good Luck.
