As for desktop slide printers, the best are probably the units from Polaroid (CIS 5000, CIS 6000). There was a review published in the last few months in one of the mainstream Macintosh publications. I don't recall which one but they all have Web sites with their reviews online. Try the following:

1. Macworld: http://www.macworld.com/ 2. MacUser: http://www.zdnet.com/~macuser/ 3. MacWeek: http://www.zdnet.com/~macweek/

If you're looking for higher end units, consider Agfa: PCR II, Alto, Alto LS; Management Graphics: Solitaire; and Polaroid has a new one called the CIS 8000, I believe.

If you can't find the right info, e-mail me and I can probably find some more info or resources for you.

Hope this helps,
