You can avoid the cost of a film recorder by utilizing service bureaus. Most companies that build workstations for graphic artists maintain service bureaus, and there are several private ones also. Typically, these systems can store some sort of "history" of a picture (our object-oriented system ends up looking like a tree) on a floppy disk. You send the floppy disk to the service bureau and they send your slides back the next day. With some systems, you can call them up with a modem, transfer the file, and they'll send back your slides. I understand that this is a major source of revenue for Genigraphics.
