Good news!

Fuji machine perhaps, Steph?

On C-41 films the developing is the same for the different ISO films.

Oh, and Good for YOU!!! Money coming in is a good thing.

Is this an older sister?

It's actually a Konica-Minolta machine. Oh, the irony. I would have gone for a Fuji if it was me, but I wasn't there...and I wish I was.

Oh, and the actual printing machine is a completely different model...something I've never seen before. It's okay, but it prints from a scan and I really don't like that.

Brava ! Congratulation for the job! Your clients I'm sure are lucky and will be happy to benefit from your "love for photography".
ciao

I have a job. But there's bad news, too. I work in one of the dreaded mini-labs. I'm learning the machine right now, but I'm working to make it better. I'm hoping that, when I'm done, it'll be the first place in town to be able to do 120 in house as well as being able to provide traditional B&W processing on request. I'm also going to be doing photo restoration a bit later on. I'm happy and excited, minilab or no. This means you'll see more photos from me again as I'll be able to scan things easily.

Just thought you'd like to know.

Welcome back...

You mean an orphaned Konica-Minolta machine serviced by Noristu?

Who make mini-lab today. Fuji? Noristu?

 

[Stephanie Brim]

Noritsu services them now, yeah. They're not bad machines for developing...I just wish we would have gotten a matching printing machine instead of the one we have. I don't like the ones that print from a scan instead of a negative...brings a whole other set of problems to the table with regards to quality issues. I had some 5x7s made with some old scans from a Fuji Frontier machine and the printer handled them almost as well as the original machine, but I don't think I'd go any higher with those files. They were around 1800x1200. Overall I'd consider the equipment to be more than adequate, but I would have rather seen a printer that worked from the negative instead of scanning.

My own film biases aside, I'm happy with things.
