Good custom printers in the states?

[kzphoto]

Looking to have a small 11x14 or 16x20 fiber print made from a BW neg, but there aren't any local options for custom black and white printing in my neighborhood. Anyone have any recommendations for great custom printing in the states?

I'm located in California if it helps, near SF. Also looking to Selenium tone my print.

Give Jim at MV Labs a call, he's located in New York. He's an extremely talented printer, I got to intern for him some months back and seeing him work firsthand was incredible.

If it is going in the mail anyway, send it to Edgar Praus at http://www.4photolab.com. You work directly with him on the prints.

Thanks for the info gentlemen!

There are actually two in my area.

I've used printlab and they're pretty good. It's hard to compare since few do wet prints commercially anymore.
I haven't used Eric Nelson (the second link) but I've heard some really good things about him.
If it's for something really special, I'd definitely look into him.
