Digital BW, The Print

I can't pass up a chance to try to top Paul Roark, even if it is only 
with a report on my own do-less and unsophisticated color management 
workflow.

Here in Northern California at least, Long's Drug has some sort of 
Fuji tie-in, not that they stock much of their film. But B&H sends me 
35mm Fuji NPZ (daylight color negative "portrait" film), I drop it 
off at Long's on my way home from shooting it, and soon after, for 
less than $15, I get back scratch-free film strips, a single set of 
36 remarkably nice 4x6 prints, and an indexed CD of scans with enough 
resolution for some purposes. Additional Long's "drugstore" prints 
have always duplicated the originals in my experience, and the film 
doesn't seem to suffer from that re-run either.
