Hey all.
I am looking for places for developing my color prints. Are there any suggestions for something with good quality? I have not been very happy with few places I have tried so far. I have found also one seller that offers this service ebay in uk but I am not sure about their process.

I would like to thank you in advance for your reply

Regards
A

All the PRO shops here I knew of have closed since awhile, so I cannot recommend, except the known online services.

I emailed one of the ebay resellers and I got this answer

"We use the best chemistry on a continuous replenishment system so the chemistry is as fresh as possible.

We scan the negatives using a Noritsu print machine, again fully calibrated.

Thanks"


At least to me does not look that bad then

A

I've heard good things about the Noritsu. If I recall correctly, it's a laser optical printer onto normal photographic paper, which is then developed in RA4 chemistry, giving you a very good quality output. I'm not sure about its scanning abilities though, so can't tell you anything about that. A google search will turn something up.

Hi,
thanks for the answer. I have also asked about their chemistry and they told me that they use

"Champion photochemistry" for years.

I might give them a try.
