What is the best way to have a print made from a 35 mm slide?

Answer 1

Even the inexpensive scanners have a set up for copying slides. If you don't have access to one the simple solution is to take it to any photo developer they can do it for you...........

Answer 2

If you know anyone with either a film scanner or flatbed scanner, plus a photo printer, you can use their setup. It will involve some of their time and resources (ink and paper), so be prepare to reciprocate the favor.
If not, local camera stores should have kiosks that will scan and print your slide with the option of cropping if needed. From my understanding, they are pretty easy to use, or the attendant will help you. Target, Kinkos and some supermarkets will have such a kiosk also...they are fairly inexpensive to print. I would say the best way is to use those services.
Mail-in services also exist (Seattle Filmworks?)...but I think it is easier and faster to use your local option.
35mm is still a popular format that is being scanned today.

Answer 3

It depends on what kind of camera you have and whether or not it has the facility to take a bellows unit. You can put a slide copier on a bellows unit and snap it through that.

Otherwise, you can settle for lesser quality prints with a scanner or send it to a professional lab which can do it.

Answer 4

you can scan/print as detailed above, or have a cibachrome print made at a pro lab. If you go the scan route, try to find a film scanner as flatbeds are not really designed to scan film although they try hard (exception: polaroid snap scanners). If it is just one image, go for the quality and have the lab do it.

peace,
