Using Labs for printing

[Etienne Cassar]

I am an amateur photographer and have been looking to find some reasonable priced photographic lab who can provide a professional service to print my digital files.  I know that ideally I should invest in a good printer myself. That is what I will probably do in the future, but for now I simply cannot afford to get one.  So I'll have to resort in sending my files to a lab for processing.  
Does anybody know of any lab who can offer a good printing service, who will print my files without editing them, and who will provide a good profile for their printers that I can use for softproofing my images?

[William Morse]

That would be me (and some others, no doubt.) Feel free to call to discuss your project.

Regards,

Bill Morse

I highly recommend Colourworks in Wilmington, De.   They exceptional quality printing of all sorts, from traditional darkroom techniques to digital printing.  And they are delightfully helpful and quality-conscious.   Their number is 302-428-0222. (btw, I have no commercial or personal relationship with them--I'm just tremendously impressed with their work)

Thanks for your input.  Problem is that I don't live in the US, but I live in Malta, Europe.  So it won't be practical for me to send my pictures for developing over to the US.  I was looking for a lab in the EU.

Why not? If they're going to be posted to you, does it really matter much where they're printed? I doubt postage charges will be much more from the US: I'm planning to have photobooks printed there (and shipped to England).

Do you also recommend them for making high quality scans of 4x5 fuji slides?

Hi marty-

I can't comment on them, but I do 4x5 scanning on my Howtek 6500 Drum scanner with Digital Photo Lab. There are several others on the Scan Hi-End yahoo list who also provide that service. I think it's very important to get those scans from someone who is also a photographer, and understands the current needs of photographers and artists regarding scans and printing.

Thanks for your reference.  I didn't know about them. Incidentally their website address is not .com but .co.uk.  They have excellent prices for what they offer.  To tell you the truth I was going to try using Spectrum Photographic Limited, but their prices are much higher.  Have sent them an email to see if they will ship to my country and asked for their profiles.
Etienne.
