I thought digital mini-labs like the Fuji Frontier hook up the digital front-end to a standard RA4 printing back-end, no? Also at Photo-Plus East, I saw a company that had a digital negative carrier for a conventional mini-lab. Looks like they just stick a small LCD panel into the place where the negative/positive would normally go, and use it to expose the print. Unfortunately, I can't remember the name of the company showing it. --jc I think the device you are talking about is the D-carrier, which allows you to print digital files on an older analog mini lab. Yes the Frontier and all the other digital mini labs are RA-4 process. To answer Kevin's (?) original question, you might be better off buying an ink jet printer with card slots and a small monitor built in that has P.I.M. and using that, assuming your camera has P.I.M. If longevity is a concern perhaps an Epson 2200 with a notebook with Elements and a card reader would be an option. Butch Each man had only one genuine vocation - to find the way to himself.
