I have tried just about every available chemistry and paper combination on
the market for making prints from slides. 

About two years ago I settled on Cibachrome. I recently upgraded to their new 
chemistry and paper combination. I loved the old and the new is even better. 
In addition to the improved quality, the new chemistry is much easier to use, 
(only 3 chemical steps, wide temperature range) and self neutralizing (better 
for the environment). The contrast of the old version used to be a bit of
a problem but the new versions are self masking. If you have a slide with a
real contrast problem then their is an alternate two part developer 
designed by Carl Krupp that I'll post if their's interest. Sharpness of a one
step (no internegative) process is excellent.

The usual disclaimers!!
