I made about a dozen prints from one of these, and was not impressed.
It is expensive to operate (~$1/print).  It produces small prints,
smaller than the 3-1/2 by 5 or whatever it is you normally get from
Kodak.  The one I used completely washed out the highlights, and if I
adjusted it darker to compensate, it just chopped out the shadows
instead.  Compared to prints made by Kodak, it just doesn't look very
good.  But it is a whole lot faster, and you don't have to let your
slides out of your sight to be manhandled by lab techs.  You can also
be sure the print isn't backwards, which 3 of my last 12 prints from
Kodak were.
