Denver Digital Imaging E-6 down

[goamules]

Photographic works in Tucson, my nearest big city, does a good job. http://www.photographicworks.com/film_processing.htm I've had them do 4x5 and 5x7 color negs and transparencies.

But they don't do wet printing of color, they do a scan, and print on a printer. That is unreasonably expensive. Does ANY lab in America do wet contact color prints? I asked the forum a year ago, and the silence was deafening.

You can drop off your E-6 and C-41 film (up to 8x10) for processing at Keeble & Shuchat Photography in Palo Alto: http://kspphoto.com/files/080510-color_proc.pdf They send it down to Swan Labs in southern California. http://www.swanphotolabs.com/swan08/pricing.php

I have no experience with Swan Labs as I do my own processing and printing but I'm sure that they do good work.

Last night I had a conversation with Joe Aker of Aker Imaging in Houston (formerly AZ Photo Lab). He's the last photo lab in Houston and told me they are doing well enough to be sustainable and actually doing better than a few years ago. They have always been great with E-6 and recently with a large run of b&w 8X10 negatives. They also do C-41, wet printing on fiber base paper, and digital printing. The staff is excellent and it's friendly place to do business.
