Title: B&W Service Bureaus (NYC)?
Post by: Mousecop on June 10, 2015, 02:59:40 pm

I'm sort of in between printers at the moment, so I'm a bit curious about using a commercial printing service.  I also don't print enough to justify a printer more than 13" wide.  I work in NYC, so Manhattan print shops would be convenient.

I did a few prints from Adorama, and they're... ehh.  Affordable, fast, profiles work OK, but the prints look soft.  Whacking out the sharpening didn't help.  I'm not thrilled by the paper options.

I took a look at Whitewall, but I'm not familiar with the papers, and they don't have profiles for the B&W papers.

Any recommendations?

if you want true B&W paper
you can go for digital silver imaging.
they are located in boston.

but you can do online print and they are professional in true B&W prints
and the price is very good as well.

if you are looking for a local pro lab which provide this service,
griffin edition is a good choice as well
