Hi, I am writing an article for my website on Slides (not only colour reversal). I wish to know if anyone happens to offer Cibachrome (Ilfochrome) or R-3 printing commerically or non-commerically (hobbist, self printing). I am calling up on PSS and maybe drop by Stanley to ask if they know anyone who still do that.

Alternatively, I would also like to find out who also do Internegative reproduction commercially or non-commercially as I seek to find out further more about Slide Printing techniques.


Thank You
Christopher
 

Nobody know? Must be patient, good things never come easy.
 

last time i checked ( which is quite long ago )
Fuji still did the R3000 ( i think ) process
 

The last time I was told the famous photo shop at Beach Road (cannot remember the name now I think was brought over by somebody) still do it but did not check it myself.
 

Thanks for the information. Is the shop along Beach Road called RGB Color, now sold to FotoHub? I asked them before and they say they do not do anymore. Ruby Photo said they (RGB Color or just the Beach Road shop), gave away the enlarger. OK, time to give Fujifilm Singapore a call since they did not really to my email after 2 days. Please guys if you know someone who did this let me know as I really need to convince myself that choosing slide is the right choice.
 

Just contacted a Fujifilm guy, he told me Fujifilm did not bring in these materials for a while since they are moving to general/digital products. Now looking forward to Cibachrome.
 

I know Ruby still has the chemicals, but no paper
maybe time for a MO : )
 

You mean P3/P30 or R3/R3000 chemicals? I do not mind paying someone to print for me as long as I can afford. Must do it once a life time so I have no regrets :)
 

think its the P3, for home use one
 

or is it the P30 : )
give them a call lah
 

According to the Ilford technical paper, it should be P30 for home use. So you are going to buy the chemical and paper? If I cannot find then I would have to wait till next year before I can get my chrome printed :dunno:
 

nah ... me not going to buy ( not now anyway )

I remember Ruby still have the chems cause i wanted to try too,
but they don't have the paper... only have the chems

says local distributor J & J did not want to bring in
due to low demand high price ... blah blah blah
 

Just an update:

I went to Ruby Photo today, talked to that nice guy and was told that no one ordered or bought any P3/P30 chemicals anymore. The last batch was bought by a Sabah guy who happened to live in Singapore. He also mentioned KL might still have someone printing. Oh well.... Saw an old 8x10 Cibachrome printing using the glossy paper, feels and look plastic, yes it is plastic and I cannot find grain at all. The last Cibachrome printing available was 7 years back, what a waste.


I think I look like a fool to find something that nobody bothers. Cannot be bothered with these people anyway.
