richard_lingg1 Posted March 13, 2001 Share Posted March 13, 2001 I've been shooting 8x10 and contact printing in my tiny NYC apartment for the last year and a half. Now it's time to make some enlargements. <p> Any suggestions for a high-quality lab that can make 8x10 enlargements in the NYC area? <p> Also, can anyone suggest a darkroom with an 8x10 enlarger for rent in NYC?

adam_friedberg Posted March 13, 2001 Share Posted March 13, 2001 i assume you are doing b&w. the best you can get is laumont digitalon 52nd st. 212.245.2113. they can do anything but it will cost.they do digital, cibachrome, c-prints, mounting, etc. you shouldat least go by and see the operation.if you're doing color, exhibition prints on 29th st does amazingwork. lti on 30th st, bond street printing lab, and creativecolor darkroom on broadway can all do very good 8x10 enlargements.beth schiffer's photo on four 212.219.1553 has an 8x10 enlargerand b&w capability (as well as an ra4 processor).

geoffrey_chen Posted March 13, 2001 Share Posted March 13, 2001 Richard, <p> You can also try DUGGAL 3 Wset 20th St. New York, NY 10011(212) 242 - 7000. They open 24x7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_goldfarb Posted March 13, 2001 Share Posted March 13, 2001 I know The Print Space has an 8x10" enlarger, if you are renting darkroom space. <p> My favorite all-purpose lab is Modernage on 6th Ave. near 45th, but there are also a few custom printers around town for exhibition quality B&W work.

steve_wiley1 Posted March 14, 2001 Share Posted March 14, 2001 Print Space doesn't have an 8x10 enlarger on their B/W floor. Best bet is Beth Shiffer (Photo on Four). They have a Fotar with a Chromega head. Only drawback is that processing takes place in a different room. But, it's only $14/hour and the facilities are quite new. I would not recommend Duggal. Kelton Labs is easily the best in town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam_friedberg Posted March 14, 2001 Share Posted March 14, 2001 i agree with the previous poster. stay away from duggal. for b&w kelton probably is the best in town and they are supposed to do v. good color work. stay away from the huge commercial labs unless you have a specific job only they can do. if you have the time (and money) check out laumont.

geoff_hutchinson Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 PRINT SPACE Does have an 8 X 10 Durst enlarger for Black and White! We always have had it, on the Black and White floor, and previously on the old 7th floor. We have really sharp brand new Rodenstock lenses- 180, 240 and 300 mm. We also give you adequate ventillation, water temp. at 68 degrees, private print washing- no contamination! Youv'e just made archival prints, we help you keep it that way!
