Anyone know if there is a difference between Frontier and Noritsu printers?

Chromogenic printers, inkjet printers, laser printers?

Various model of each have been made and are currently offered. Note they are separate companies.

Frontier and Noritsu Printers aren't home type print making machines.

I used to fix wetlabs using Frontiers and Noritsu's for a living. Cranking out prints is just about the only thing they have in common. Even the film scanners are completely different.

I am lost; printers or scanners ? I think once you scan the film, you on the mercy of digital magic. Everything would be hinging on those printers programing.

These are scanners for films, not printers.

Then why the title? - Frontier and Noritsu Printers

Frontiers handle extreme highlight retention better, Noritsu's have a more even tone, Frontiers are a little smoother, Noritsu's have tighter detail.

In my experience..

Kodak Films tend to look better on Noritsu's (DEFINITELY Ektar for sure)
Fuji Films tend to look better on Frontiers.
