Digital BW, The Print

Bill,
I do the same thing here on print jobs where the client brings in
film. There is an additional charge if they want the file after I have
edited it and prepared it for output on a particular printer setup. Of
course I am getting more digital camera files now and that becomes
trickier to deal with. A big part of the appeal for me to keep client
files in house where appropriate is that I can reprint without the
variable of the client altering the file (say, by inadvertantly
assigning another profile or tweaking it for their desktop without
saving a copy).
