I have had the same problem with both slide and print film in this area.
I
don't think they spend the time to " tweak" the Frontier since they don't
do many of the film scans anymore. It would be interesting to know if a
"pro" lab has the same problems as I used to do mine at Costco.


Mine was a "pro" lab. While the scans looked bad, he prints looked OK
although I never cared for that consumer fuji crystal archive though, WAY
too contrasty.

I went to one that served pros and was highly regarded. The guys at the counter
didn't know diddly, but the guy at the machine was knowledgeable. When they
finally let me speak to him, he didn't have too many kind words to say about the
Frontier machine. I've not gotten any really good results from any Frontier
lab. I've gotten better results overall by doing my own scanning and printing.

Showcase in Atlanta. I used to use them for all my printing until they went
with the frontier machine, like I said that "consumer" fuji crystal archive
paper is awful..

I agree and even printing digital files they are bad. I compared them (and 3
other fuji machines) to another lab using an AGFA machine, no contest the
AGFA prints were MUCH sharper and looked like I expected them to look.
