I wanna know something here...whenever a customer sends his negatives for reprinting...is the lab obligated to check for the dust on the negative before printing it? Cos i juz got back my pics today and there were specks all over the pic. i went to check the neg and sure enuff it was casued by specks of dust which i later cleaned off with my blower. i'm quite frustrated coz this isn't the first time already. i mean sometimes the customer is bz and has no time to check for this kind of things rite so shouldn't the lab do this for us? somemore its only a few pics that i reprinted all the more they should have the time to check thru.
ColorLab photos... quality lab? U decide

Dust! Even the popular one at Adephi is not immune to that problem. My negatives were scanned and I found quite a bit of objectionable dust. The worst are labs by the roadside where dust are churned by heavy traffic. Watch out for careless operaters, some don't wear gloves and flick bundles of negatives about. Many unrecoverable scratches. They says never go to a doctor whose houseplants died, same as aquariams with dead floating fishes. We need to come out some rules to avoid badly run labs.

That bad huh?
AFAIK, most shops will clean off the specks of dust on the negs before developing it..
they will sweep the negs thru a brush like thingy (that's what I saw @ Stanley's.
Maybe you can try showing them the prints again?
Maybe they wil do a reprint for you?
i know they'll do it and for free too but the pt is i didn't really expect this from a so called quality lab like them
