    Where to enlarge or make print from 4x5 transparancy?

    Hi. I have posted here a couple times, mainly about 2 months ago when I was starting out and learning the very basics of large format in school. Well, now I am here and I have taken a decent amount of pictures, but they are just sitting around. Is there a place that I could sent my transparencies to and they can blow them up or make prints from, like larger than 4x5? I would imagine there would be a bunch.

    If this post makes no sense, let me know, I will try to rephrase it.

    If I ever get anything good enough I'm going to send it to West Coast Imaging for a 16x20 or larger.

    Check with your school. Do you know anyone that has a scanner and inkjet printer that could help you get started?

    HI, James.

    I use Allied Photocolor in St. Louis and am constantly pleased. They handle E-6. C-41 and black and white film processes as well as several different types of printing. Very reasonable.

    Find them at www.alliedphotocolor.com

    It will help if you state where you are located.
    Put the exposed film in a 4x5 box and ship for processing. Once you get the processed trannies back, review, then send off for scans and prints using a lab in your area or mail order.

    If you want prints direct from your chromes you will need to find a lab doing Ilfochrome printing since the other R3/R300 processes died a few years ago. The other option as several have mentioned is to scan and print. Your only other alternative is to find someone who still makes internegs (hard since no one makes interneg film anymore, though Portra 160NC can be used and make a decent one from my trials with it).
    The latest Ilfochrome discussion was in this thread I believe.
