Q. Genigraphics has a variety of outputs to choose from. What are the differences?

A. They include:

      35mm Slides:      Genigraphics provides high quality
                        slide imaging. They also offer Double
                        sets and Slide Duplicates.

      Color Overheads:  Genigraphics has two to choose from.
                        Colorvues are the company standard, using
                        Digital Photographic continuous tone
                        output. Qwikvues use a thermal wax process
                        at 300 dpi output. Qwikvues are better for
                        one-time presentations.

      Color Prints:     These are produced from the same two processes
                        as Color Overheads. Slick Prints use 11-by-14-
                        inch display prints or 12-by-18-inch office
                        posters and Color Handouts, which are similar
                        to the quality of the Quikvues (color
                        overheads.)
