Digital BW, The Print

If you are willing to try tweaking the curves but need better readings  
of the densities try contacting ABC photo (about 4th and Fir).  I took  
them two step wedges yesterday and they (Jim Stay) made the readings  
while I waited.  It took about 5 minutes. Very helpful people.  There  
may be a small service fee.
