I've had prints done with a Fuji dry processing machine. While it is cost efficient, I don't like the prints it produces. Its a sublimation printer and the prints remain tacky for the rest of their life.

I have bought many minilabs, I owned a DLab 3 just like the one you linked to, also had a Frontier 350, great machines—the Agfa was better.
Here is a picture of an early Pako-Copal film processor with Noritsu disc processor (Process C41A) attached:

The machine is circa 1984

I always stay clear of this type of printing too...the prints just never seem to be quite right.

I know for me, the first turn off is the texture itself... tacky, you have to peel them out of the stack. They have only one surface that's shiny but not glossy... yet not matte either. And the colors often come out awful. Thing is they are optimized for digicams and people's love for high contrast images... no subtle shades there.
