The 1 hour lab near me can print(but not process) B&W negs and they use a B&W paper.I forget what they use,i have no proofs in the office with me to check. He usually does the B&W at the end of the day,as he has to change over tanks etc i suppose.Only has glossy paper,i wish he could do matte though. Dave ---- Begin Original Message ----
From: gfen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I've used Ilford's XP2 and Kodak's T400CN and Select B+W. The Select blows. However, I believe any minilab can make the prints LOOK like B&Ws, whereas with the other two they'll come out with a sepia or greenish tone (T400CN) or greenish purpilish tone (XP2 Super). Except, a real lab can take either of the latter and print it to true B&W paper and give you a print that looks like a true B&W print. I don't remember if I had a preference between the T400CN or the XP2 Super. Sorry. However, I can say they worked, and worked well enough. -- http://www.infotainment.org � � � � "The destructive character is cheerful." �- Walter Benjamin ---- End Original Message ---- Pentax User Stouffville Ontario Canada http://home.ca.inter.net/brooksdj/ http://brooks1952.tripod.com/myhorses Sign up today for your Free E-mail at: http://www.canoe.ca/CanoeMail
