     order, how you would like your order processed, and shipping and
     billing information).

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.)

Q. What are the available shipping options?

A. They include:

     Saturday: In by 10 AM; returned by noon Monday.
     Rush: In by 7 PM; returned by noon next business day.
     Next Day: In by 1 PM; returned by noon next business day.
