In my experience, the Fuji Frontier scanning is optimized for
negatives and is mediocre with slides. The only place I have had
consistently good (not necessarily great) scans from slides is from
Kodak on their professional Master Photo CD(not the consumer )system
(and it is reasonably priced). Not many places offer that service.
You pretty much have to do your own scanning unless you can pay an
arm and a leg. Once scanned well, the frontier system gives me
consistently great prints at a great price. You have to optimize
your scan yourself and tell them to NOT adjust the photo. What you
get out of the Frontier is exactly what your scan looks like on your
PC if your monitor is adjusted.
