Kodak developing and printing in UK

[lrochfort]

Hello,

Does anybody know of a good lab that devs and prints with Kodak chemicals and paper? Ideally they should also offer push processing.

I currently use Fuji Photo Processing in Burnley, but don't particularly like how contrasts and over-saturated the prints are.

Cheers,
Laurence

I don't know what they use but have you tried Peak Imaging? Can't sing their praises too highly.

They print on Fuji Crystal Archive paper unfortunately, which I really don't like. I also found the below on their homepage which would seem to indicate they digitise yours negs, which certainly isn't for me.

Thanks for the suggestion though.


Our prints are produced by LED / Laser printers which write your images to light sensitive paper.
The paper is processed using chemicals. They can be regarded as true photographic prints.
We do not employ inkjet or dye sublimation printers.

I like AG Photo, and they are my go-to lab now, but I've never got prints, so cannot comment on them.

I also like The Darkroom, service is exceptionally fast and high quality, only thing is the scans are a bit pricey compared to AG.

Genie Lab is good too, high res scans at a decent price, bit slower than The Darkroom though.

I rarely get prints, so don't know if it's Kodak paper or not, although I do tend to notice it's generally Fujifilm paper when I do.

The only one I can think of is Palm Laboratory in Birmingham:

and here's a link stating they use Kodak chemistry:

Hope this is of some help.
