That outfit sounds like something a pro-lab uses for interneg work, so
for a humble hobbyist such as myself could be a wee bit outside my
budget.  If I could spare $4,000 another option would be upgrading my PC
and buying a HP Photosmart scanner and printer or better.  I was
impressed with a negative enlargement using the Photosmart setup but I
don't know what it is like with transparency film.

So this is one controlled method of pre (or post?) flashing your film in
order to control excess contrast in slide copying to print film.  How
would you go about flashing an entire roll of film at once?

Wait a minute, that wasn't my advice (at least not in this lifetime) it
was John P's along with the Olympus 35RC subject line.

Thanks Gene for the advice and information.  I only intend to use this
method as a value for money way for getting prints from slides, for the
times when a projector and screen aren't handy.  Should I ever have a
slide worth enlarging for display I'd use Ciba/Ilfochrome.
