I'm wondering if any commercial labs will print negatives from an uploaded file? Now that I run my own drum scanner I'd like to enlarge a lot of my 120 and 4x5 film for contact processes, and I haven't found an easy way to get this done.

Thanks

Try http://www.elevatordigital.ca If they aren't yet they will be printing B/W negs via Lambda upto 30" on the short edge.

Thanks, JD. They don't list it there, I should contact them.

Any other sites?

Hi DrPablo,

How large are you looking to go?
We just got an LVT laser film recorder. We can output 8x10 negs and chromes at res 80.

I also know a few other labs that specialize in outputting really large negs onto ortho or ohp film.

Best,

Hey Ian,

I'm looking to go 8x10 or maybe 11x14.

Any lab with an LVT, Solitaire 16 (with 8x10 module) or Lightjet 2080 (the best of the bunch) can do 8x10 and the Light jet can do 11x14. All will image the film well in excess of the resolution you need to do contact prints.
