Though I am ignorant of the film business and current market beyond reading random internet articles here and there, it certainly makes sense to me that a film manufacturer would want to add to the options that their potential customers have for film development. I wish them the best!

A necessary and welcome development in these times. Thanks for the post.

I have used their UK service and have been very pleased with the results. I think this is a great next step for them.

Cheers,

From the website: "We believe there will always be demand for traditional silver gelatin prints and we are passionate about making the highest quality black and white prints."

I like Ilford because they are not wishy-washy in telling their customers and customers-to-be what they believe.

Real black and white prints on gelatin silver based paper! What will they think of next?

This is good news. From what I can see, Ilford have made an arrangement with The Darkroom/Swan Photo Lab in San Clemente to do this as a "division" of their overall operation (using Ilford DD, etc.).
I've seen many good reports on the work done by those folks, and this is another good option. I'll be sending some film off to them when I get back home.

Fabulous news! I also applaud Ilford for this.

Develop, standard scans, 24x prints and return postage will total almost $30/roll.

I wish them well.
