chaotic said:which FDI lab does darkroom printing for BnW at the same price? I would love to know!
C41 is a developing process. are you referring to printing or developing? I am a little confused.

Digital color print = 30cts Digital B&W = more?
Not really true (contrary to what they claim). I printed 4 8x12s at Beautiful Memories, one of them being a B&W image and all the owner needed to do is to send the images over to the Frontier. No other adjustments done (I asked for none anyway). And their B&W is prefectly neutral.ed9119 said:I assume you mean BW prints from FDI to be digitally printed with color paper
most shops use it as a gimmick to charge more because they have to tune the printer to print out grayscale and tune it back to its color profile after printing your images. Konota and a few other labs dont charge any differently between digitally printed BW or color prints
otherwise, if you compare traditional darkroom BW printing with enlarger on light sensitive BW paper then yes its more expensive
