Printing 120 film in Melbourne

[andrew_littleford]

Can anybody please recommend a good lab to get some 120 colour transparencies

printed in Melbourne. I have tried one "lab" who scanned them and then

printed and they turned out all blurry, after a "discussion" I received a

full refund but don't want to go down that path again. I am after an 8x10

size print. Do any labs still use a wet lab for this work or do they all scan

now ?

 

Thanks in advance

Andrew

Lab X in St Kilda - 40 Pakington St - does a good job in scanning and printing.

There's also Image Science in North Melbourne. I have never used their scanning and printing service myself but I've seen my colleague's 80x80cm prints from 6x6 and they are impressive.

Andrew - it sounds like those scans were simply not done by a pro. However, as I've been overseas for a few years, I can only suggest either Bond in Richmond or LaTrobe in South Melbourne.

 

Kris mentions Lab X which also sounds interesting. But I share the dismay over the loss of wet-lab printing, and I've actually started to do it myself. It's just another dimension in my B&W lab.

 

If you have any luck, please come back here with the news.

Hi

 

I found Lab X good for b/w prints, but their prints of my 6*6 slides were not the best.

They will not do any sharpening work on any prints so I would give them a miss on this

one if you do not want to do you own post scan sharpening.
