Re: OT cross post. Output to 35mm?

2004-06-15 by Tom Andrews

Hi Tyler,

I've tried slides from a variety of places, such as slides.com, which is a 
standard large scale provider that some folks swear by.  However, I couldn't 
get much satisfaction going this route.  Not sharp enough and the colors 
were usually off.  The machines that most commercial establishments use are 
designed for output of powerpoint slides.  I ended up making my own slides 
by photographing 16x20 prints of my work, even though the work was 
printed from digital files.  This is also significantly cheaper than getting the 
slides from digital files.  You only need to balance the film to the light and 
voila.  Cheers,

Tom Andrews
