[Digital BW] Re: Scan color or B/W better for B/W printing?

2008-08-22 by djon43

Mark, Your site's convincing.

Some opinions:

A good quality lab uses dip & dunk, as you do, unless they are small
enough (one person lab) to rely on SS reels. Rotary and continuous
equal bad quality IMO. 

Your 35mm silver process / scan prices are what anybody should expect
if they want quality results...lower price means the lab will die. 

I'd use you except that a) I'm now mostly digital and b) I like the
character of Rodinal (for Hexar AF). As well, I dislike your Senator
intensely :-)
