If they don't do a lot of APS film, and I doubt if a pro lab
gets a lot of it, they won't have good colour channels for it.
However, they should still not be sending out junk prints,
especially a pro lab. The Kodak APS film technology is
excellent, as good as Fuji's. I suspect that Fuji has somewhat
finer grain, though truthfully, this is opinion based on their
strengths in 35mm film technology. I prefer Kodak's colour. The
200 is especially nice.
